We have this exact issue, both ad-hoc and scheduled in on-prem. So far, no answers except to "recycle the Gateway service"

RE: Stop/cancel query button

No sure how this idea only has 6 votes. The reason Im here is because Im waiting for the tiny little spinning circles on my report to stop spinning. I can't just make them stop. It would be nice if I could. I would probably waste a lot less time.

RE: Stop/cancel query button

'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

RE: Stop/cancel query button

For now, I simply close the window of powerBI Desktop but allowing to stop a query using esc is something that should be possible
