Super User- Hi ChristianW
when Power BI caches the visual results for the current week, and then the week rolls over (or a refresh runs at a certain time), the cache still holds the previous week's aggregated numbers. The summarised export shows the same wrong data because it reads from that same cache — while the underlying data export bypasses the cache entirely and reads the raw model, which is correct.
try these
Go to the dataset settings in Power BI Service → find Query Caching → turn it Off. This is the most direct fix if you're on Premium capacity
Check how the current week is defined in your model. If you're using TODAY(), NOW(), or a relative date filter, these run in UTC so depending on your timezone, the "current week" could be resolving to the wrong week at the time of refresh.
nilendraFabric thanks for your reply.
1. Query caching is already turned off by default.2. The current week is calculated by our backend and provided as string (e.g. '2026cw13') in the csv files. The data was checked and is correct.
