Model with 2.8 Million Rows Not Auto-Refreshing, Truncated
- 1 year ago
Hi Moehimby ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.
Thanks for your prompt response
To troubleshoot your Power BI model not fully refreshing during scheduled auto refresh, start by checking the refresh history in the Power BI Service compare the row count, duration, and dataset size between manual and scheduled runs to spot inconsistencies. Ensure there's no time-based logic like DateTime.LocalNow() in Power Query that could behave differently overnight, and double check that you're not unintentionally using incremental refresh or filters. Look into your on-prem gateway's CPU/memory usage and logs during the scheduled window in case it's silently throttling or timing out and consider restarting the gateway if it’s been running long. On the SQL side, check for long running ETL jobs or table loads that might still be in progress when the Power BI refresh kicks off, potentially leading to partial data loads if that’s the case, reschedule the refresh for later or use a view that only returns completed data. Also, verify that your SQL server isn’t terminating idle or long running queries during unattended hours. As a workaround, try wrapping your SQL logic in a stored procedure for better control, or simulate an early morning refresh in Power BI Desktop via Task Scheduler to see if the issue is specific to the service.

it's basically just a complete drop of all the contents in the table
or maybe there are some datetime filters? Remember that the Power BI service runs on UTC, so "Today" means different things.
Understood but that's not it. It's a significant omittence of a lot of data from the past, data spans 30+ years.
