Scheduled Cache Refresh and Query Cache

[Anonymous]

I have a report in a Premium capacity workspace and have turned on Query Caching in hopes to speed up the report load time. My question is when does it refresh? Do I set the refresh frequency using the Scheduled cache refresh as referenced in this article? It specifically mentions the refresh works for dashboard tiles, but I have been unable to find if it applies to query caching for report data as well. Any help would be much appreciated!

No it will actuall speed things up, the engine is VERY good at making things faster!

Hi @Anonymous 

The Query Caching is automatically controlled by the Power BI Service. 

If there is a change to the underlying dataset the Power BI engine is smart enough to know that there has been a change. It will then expire the cash so it gets the latest data.

Also the Query Cache does have a limit (Not sure what that is and will expire after a certain time)

I have found that this works really well and you always get the latest data.

Very cool, thank you @GilbertQ! And will the cache updating in the background slow down the load time of the report?
