Power BI Workspace App not Updating with Most Recent Dataset after refresh and "Update App"

Hi Anonymous 

edhans  Good share!

The issue you're experiencing could be due to several factors:

Delay in the propagation of changes through the Power BI service.

Browser caching, which might show an older version of the reports within the app.

The update process within the app might not have been successful.

Please follow these steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

Ensure that the datasets for the reports have been refreshed successfully in the Power BI service.

You can check the refresh history by going to the dataset settings in the workspace.

After confirming the refresh, go to the workspace and update the app again.

Navigate to the app's settings and select 'Update app' to push the latest content.

Sometimes, your browser might cache an older version of the page.

Try clearing your browser cache or use an incognito/private browsing window to view the app.

Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to update the app.

You should have at least Contributor access to the workspace to update the app content.

After updating the app, check if there's any notification or status message indicating the progress or completion of the update.

This can be found in the workspace under the 'Settings' of the app.

Sometimes, it may take a while for the update to propagate across the Power BI service.

Wait for a few minutes and then check the app again.

Visit the Power BI support page or service health dashboard to check if there are any known issues affecting the service.

As a last resort, republish the reports from Power BI Desktop to the service and then update the app again.
