app.powerbi.com refresh weekdays only - falls over when no data on closed days

Hi

We have scheduled daily reports from our MIS system into PowerBI. One of the reports is 'student attendance today' so there is no data of a weekend so the refresh fails and the schedule stops. Is there a way that we can either schedule for weekdays/school days only or do something in PowerBI to ignore empty tables?

Thanks

You can specify the days of week that you want the refresh to execute on.  In the semantic model settings > Refresh section, change the Refresh frequency to weekly, and select the days you'd like.

 

Hope this helps,
