    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.

    I support this feature to be included in PBI services.

    'Additionally, it would seem very very useful to have
    - a more general "stop all automatic calculations" option
    - an ad-hoc "compute now" buttom
    to allow a user to enter the DAX for multuiple new computed measures / columns etc.

    The user coud then either signal to the system either :
    a) press the "compute now" button
    OR
    b) change the general setting back to "automatically compute"
    etc

    This would really be a great functionality, because of many reasons. E.g. You can not publish changes to reports when refresh is running in the service, and sometimes the refresh runs with errors due to e.g timeout.
    In these cases a simple pause/stop functionality would save alot of time.

    Would be nice just to have a big button to pause all refreshes in a tenant to make server maintenance easier.

    OMG, is really needed to refresh previow every single time a small little tweak is done in the model? it would take years to tailor any report.

    Can't upload a report until refresh finishes - wastes my time... Please add this feature.

    I need to be able to block refreshing a dataset while allowing others to refresh so that subledger data can tie for month end to the GL.

    Please add this feature. Stopping the gateway is not a solution. Thanks.
