Manually Refresh Your Data

Just added something but it's not showing up in your reports? 🔁

Manually refreshing a Power BI online dataset ensures that your reports and dashboards reflect the most up-to-date data. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to manually refresh your data:

Step 1: Sign In to Power BI

First, navigate to the Power BI service at https://app.powerbi.com and sign in with your Microsoft account credentials.

Step 2: Navigate to Your Workspace

Once you’re signed in, navigate to the workspace that contains the dataset you want to refresh.

Credentials: For edison365, you need to choose "Anonymous Authentication" and "Skip Test Connection." Since your API key is a report parameter it should be able to connect and refresh data without logging into an account.

For the SharePoint apps, you need to have access to both the database and/or the SharePoint collection the app is hosted on.

Step 3: Open the Dataset Options

Find the dataset in the list, click on the “More options” button (represented by three dots), and then select “Refresh now”.

And that’s it! Your dataset will now be refreshed, and the data in your reports and dashboards will update to reflect the most recent data from your data source. This method is great if you're testing your reports, but for reports you're sharing, or reports being consumed by your business, you should set up a scheduled refresh.
