Issue with Refresh on Power BI Service using ODBC Elasticsearch
- 1 year ago
Hi fatou
Thank you for being part of the Microsoft Fabric Community.
Please do follow the below steps to resolve the issue.- Create a minimal test with 1 table and try refreshing it in the service — confirms if it's model-related or gateway-related.. pbix
- In Power Query, check if steps support query folding ( is enabled). Lack of folding can cause service refresh issues. View Native Query
Enable gateway diagnostic logging and inspect logs at:
C:\Users\<gateway-user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\On-premises data gateway\GatewayDiagnosticLogs - Monitor gateway server’s RAM/CPU during refresh — resource limits can silently fail large refreshes.
- Confirm DSN name and ODBC driver version match exactly between your desktop and the gateway server.
- Re-enter credentials in Power BI Service under Data Source Settings. Set privacy levels in Desktop to “Ignore” and republish.
- Use scheduled refresh instead of manual refresh — service sometimes mishandles manual triggers.
- Simplify Power Query steps to avoid memory-intensive transforms. Push filters/joins to the source query.
- If your source supports native connectors (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQL Server), use those instead of ODBC.
If the above information helps you, please give us a Kudos and marked the Accept as a solution.

Hello, sorry for the lack of feedback—I was unavailable. I tested all the methods, but nothing worked. I also changed the source, switching from ODBC to the Elastic API for the update, but it’s still the same issue: the data updates on the desktop, but not on the service, and there’s no error.
