Data Refresh

Once your data is connected and transformed, you'll eventually need to refresh it to make sure your reports show the most up-to-date information.

Power BI makes it easy to update data automatically or manually, depending on your setup.

Building the dashboard is fun, but keeping it updated with the latest data is what keeps it useful.

When you click the Refresh button on the Home ribbon, Power BI will:

  1. Reconnect to your data source
  2. Reapply every transformation
  3. Reload the data into your model

Manual refresh is perfect while you're developing or testing your report.

Assignment
