Please provide option to stop refreshing dataset after refreshing manually...
If there are any performance issues in database this would lock down the table...
I even observed that reports doesnt get published until the refresh is done...

RE: Stop Dataset refresh
There are really two places where we need a way to stop/cancel a refresh:
1. At the Power BI Service level - (the Gateway data refresh) - if you click that button by mistake or have an automatic refresh scheduled that fires but you do not want it to run after it has already started, there needs to be a way to cancel/stop it.
2. At the local PBIX file level, you can start the refresh in Power Query when it says your Preview of the data is out of date and then again when you do a Close & Apply, it does another complete refresh.
Would be nice if you had just refreshed the data in the Preview that the Close & Apply realizes this and does not do another full refresh.
Adding a way to cancel a refresh both on the Service or with in the local PBIX file would be very helpful.
Thanks!
RE: Stop Dataset refresh
Two really key problems: one is that the Refresh button doesn't have a pop up 'Are you sure you want to start the refresh?' to avoid accidental pressing; two is that refreshes can be of uncertain time (e.g. new pbix upload, changed parameters).
I can post this message as I now have 3 hours to wait until the refresh is done. I *think* I must have clicked on the refresh button accidentally....but who knows?
Really difficult to manage various refreshes if you can't stop them.
RE: Stop Dataset refresh
I have seen this occur more than once and on different datasets, so there isn't any pattern to it.
RE: Stop Dataset refresh
For now, kill the query on the SQL server side. But a Cancel button is needed.
RE: Stop Dataset refresh
If a report refresh is lasting too long, we may want to lower some dataset parameter on the service, to temporarily shorten history for example, and respawn the refresh.
Now, I have to wait 6 hours, for the timeout to be triggered, before I can proceed with no refresh. I CANNOT restart capacity right now.
This feature is highly expected (it works fine on desktop)
RE: Stop Dataset refresh
This is a must for future releases. I need to have the option to stop scheduled refresh activities.
RE: Stop Dataset refresh
There should be a cancel button.
RE: Stop Dataset refresh
I find it incredible that I cannot stop scheduled refreshes. Please add this feature.
RE: Stop Dataset refresh
We cannot let other data set refresh to be started until this manual refresh to be completed. Which runs for 3 hours and no option to disable/stop the data set Manual refresh.
This need to implemented ASAP.
RE: Stop Dataset refresh
