Problem with data refresh - Concurrent multiple refreshes for a single dataset

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I m encountering problem wrt data refresh. Noticed... that at times, multiple refresh triggers gets executed.

This doesn't happen everyday or on every refresh. The size of dataset is very large and sometimes takes up way more time than normal.  Since the refresh is on Service, it is not possible to cancel refreshes on PBI reports.

When multiple instances are running, the UI doesn't show the loading/ refresh -in-progress icon. However, when you check the Refresh History, the status can be seen as In-progress.

Should this be reported as a bug?

Is it possible to provide cancel option for report refresh ... similar to Data Flows? 

Regards,

Mannu

Hi @Anonymous ,

I am not sure that this is a bug.  This might just be a resource issue.   It might be worth a Microsoft support ticket.   Your other suggestion is a good idea.   Please create one (or find an existing  one) and then post that here so we can vote for it. 

I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!
