Refresh button does not work for a report created from a simple Web URL

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I have created a very simple report using a Web link as the data source. Upon publishing I noticed that the Refresh icon does not pull the latest data from the server.

What am I missing?

Note - When I click on "Refresh" I can see the HTTP requests arriving at the back end. 

Thanks,

Saurabh

Hi there

If you are clicking the Refresh button on the page in Power BI, it does not refresh the data in the underlying dataset.

If you are looking to refresh the dataset, you have to click on "Refresh Now" which is under the dataset options as shown below.

Hi @Anonymous ,

You need to configure the gateway correctly, and then you can refer to this blog
