    If there are many reports running at the time and one report seems like a resource hog, you would want to pause or stop a refresh so that another report can finish.

    This is the very basic functionality which we expect from any tool..very strange that this basic functionality is not implemented yet

    It's really irritating that your developers never thought of this functionality and other basic functionalities. Gets my vote

    This really needs to be put near the top of the pile. For example, today I have spent 4 hours, updating 24 measures. Each time I make a change to one of the measures, the whole report refreshes. This is killing me!!!
    There needs to be a refresh checkbox that stops refreshing while it is selected.

    Without this feature, I can't convince others to use powerbi for big data analysis

    Yes, please add this feature as if I know there are issues with my sources, I can stop the refresh and restart as needed.

    Sometimes I forget to update the parameters of a dataset and wish I could cancel and fix my mistake rather than waiting for a full refresh and having to start over.
