I have created a power bi report which actually gets data sourced from Azure data lake storage gen2. The report source was a CSV file and I used power bi desktop to complete the report.
Below I have mentioned the workflow.
CSV file(in azure data lake) -> read using power bi desktop -> published into power bi workspace -> embedded report into power apps portal.
what my concern was,
without refreshing the power bi dataset was loading the older data to the corresponding report and I wonder where the data was preserved to show up until the next refresh? Is it storing the report data in any caching mechanism or what?
