Wow. This and your other video I also watched this morning is very helpful. Understanding there is far more to do in the model than I assumed? No words. Thank you, as always, for your outstanding videos.

Awesome Patrick! I was looking how to do this in months. You guys are fantastic, thanks.

Hey Patrick. Great Video. I'd like to know whether there is a way to script single refreshes one after the other in a specific order. The reason I am asking this is, I have a bulky model that uses CSV files as its source. It fails if I Refresh All Tables. However, individual tables refresh fine.

[mytempmail]

Just what I was looking for !!! Thank you,

How would you do partitioning or bringing in the most recent data. If the model already have the 2018 data how do I just bring 2019 and 2020?

[mathew]

That is very handy - an Idea would be to enable groupings for refreshing, so once you've created a group of tables you don't need to select a number of table to refresh

Great! I'm experiencing issue with refreshing the data from sharepoint folder (csv files). The scheduled refresh on service failed and find some errors in a table which I did not modified. When I refresh the Power BI desktop file (pbix) it is refreshing with no issue, but mostly one or two of the tables are not refreshing completely (missing rows). It is loading some of the rows and stops somewhere. The table (csv) is 500k rows and it is used also by other query. When I right click on this table and refresh it like in your video it is loading completely with no missing rows every time.

Thanks Patrick! Saved me a lot of time.

Great Tip. I need your help with something though. I have a data model that uses large CSV Files as data sources. When I 'Refresh All', the refresh fails with a 'Not Enough Memory' error. When I selectively refresh tables, I am able to get it to work. However, I find myself sitting in front of the computer manually triggering the refreshes. Is there a way to automate refreshes of specific tables in a specific order in PowerBI Desktop? (I only have PowerBI Pro License).

[LevanAlibegashvili]

Hi, is it possible to update specific table with API or from service? Dimension tables are stuck with old data and can't seem to find out any workaround yet..

Hi Guys in a Cube, I have an Appended Table, Is it possible to refresh just a single table that is part of the Appended Table instead of refresh all the tables related to the this?

[ncbshiva]

Amazed by this feature to refresh only the required tables in Power BI Desktop

[shubhabratadey]

Can we do Customized Table Refresh Sequence in Power BI ? I mean I want to refresh the Tables but in a specific order. Is this possible?

[pluralcloud]

can we just mark specific tables as "Do Not refresh" so when we execute refresh all (data set)-- they are excluded?
