Like discussed here: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Integrations-with-Files-and/Refreshing-queries-with-functions-doens-t-work/td-p/2450 - queries where data access happens inside a function and where the data source is dependent on parameters to the function should be refreshable.

We also need this function really urgent! Customers do not want to use Power BI if funtctions are not refreshable

RE: Make functions refreshable when the data source is a parameter of the function

We absolutely need this! Our data sources are paged, and functions are the only workable way of getting data

RE: Make functions refreshable when the data source is a parameter of the function

We really need this. The realy good performance of M language is the function. Not to be able to use it in cloud refresh is really a deception.
Please correct it !

RE: Make functions refreshable when the data source is a parameter of the function

This function is really a must have.
What is a value of a report if the content can not be automatically refreshed ?
It's nice that Power BI Desktop support this function, but if in the same time the refresh service does not support it, I can not use the power of this functionnality for my client...

We also need this for the SharePoint.Tables M query, to be able to call specific sharepoint sites dynamically.
