    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

    please add this feature, it's essential not to block a user or dataset creates a lot of frustration!

    RE: Stop Dataset refresh

    Please add this feature as sometime the refresh runs for too long and we cant even replace the pbix file during refresh in progress.

    RE: Stop Dataset refresh

    Please add this feature! We should be able to stop a refresh that is taking too long to refresh especially during production time. It's a drag on resources.

    RE: Stop Dataset refresh

    It is not fun having to wait, to Re-publish a PWBI Desktop report to Services, until the scheduled refresh has completed. I wish I could stop a refresh in progress in services.

    RE: Stop Dataset refresh

    It is really necessary since we have several reports refreshing daily, updating a considerable volume of lines.

    RE: Stop Dataset refresh

    Microsoft, please add this feature as it is currently a major gap in functionality. I run a large dataset which can take up to an hour to refresh (if not more) having to wait that long before I can rerun a refresh is causing a world of pain!

    Thank you in advance :)

    RE: Stop Dataset refresh

    Please add this Microsoft, this is a key BI maintenance feature which is available in plenty of other tools.

    RE: Stop Dataset refresh

    Definitely need this option added. Stuck for over an hour waiting for a refresh to finish and when it did it was due to a dataset error. Wishing I could have killed the refresh before I lost over an hour of time.

    RE: Stop Dataset refresh

    Please yes. For whatever reason, something that takes 5 minutes to refresh will take over an hour if it hits an error. Meanwhile, you have your hands tied unable to take any action while every stakeholder is waiting for you.
