Hi,
one of my dataflows has been refreshing for 28 hours now. Obviously there's something wrong. Is there a way to stop the refresh?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
I just discovered there's a cancel refresh button when I click on the three dots beside the dataflow.
This is resolved now, thanks.
Hi Vucko, I don't believe there is a way to stop it directly. There is an idea that is similar right here that you can vote for:

In the meantime, perhaps a support call to Microsoft? And, please share what the results of that support are if you go that route.

Ah, I thought the dataflow was refreshing "in the background" - good to know there IS a way to cancel them!
