    spinachbisque How quickly are you checking the report after the dataset has said it has refreshed? The Dataset, Report and dashboard are seperate objects and are not all immediately refreshed after the dataset. It is in order. If the dataset refreshes, it is likely it will be 10-15 before the report, and then the Dashboard. You can also initiate a refresh in the report after the dataset.

    If you know, and or tried the above, then this sounds like a bug or issue that you should raise in a support ticket or the issues page.

My Power BI Desktop version won't update either...

 

I can see the data clearly updates within the Data view and within any Query. But the report view will not reflect the changes. Funny enough... if I create a new report on a new tab. It will update accordingly - just anyhting already in the file will not update.

I recently experienced this same issue but think I found a solution.  After the scheduled refresh is complete I make sure to close out all open Chrome tabs and then go back into the workspace and hit refresh on the reports.  Now the refreshed data seems to be populating.  I did this about two hours after the auto refresh was complete.

 

Will test again tomorrow morning and report back.
