Great video! Do you have a solution for only updating the last file on the folder? So we avoid waiting for power query updating the previous months files. Thanks in advance!

Hello, what if I have 100 files on bi, and now, I want to integrate the101st one? due to the size of the100files, the time of refreshing is too long. is there a way that I can ask bi to integrate only the file101 and dont refresh the previous ones?

Nice! But, can we use Power Query to perform this? Thanks.

What if you have actuals for each month and you only want to refresh the last actuals file for October, is there any way to keep the other data and adding the actuals for October? Since there are a lot of files the appended feature is not an option. Thank you in advance!

I want to keep my previous day's files (information) and only update/refresh for today's file as I am maintaining a YTD trending visual. Any idea how that can be achieved? My folder contains over 500 day's files and refreshing Power Bi desktop everyday means connecting to every single file every day. Ideally I would only want Power Bi to refresh for current day's information. Thank you

Do you know how to do some edit in the file . Thx

So if I have a fold on share point they 4 document per day are dropped into. How can I get power bi to recognize and add those automatic? I have time stamped .csv file that come in from power Automate.

Wow...Still Valid. :D

If I have published this report on POWER BI SERVICES, then if I make changes to the file in the original location on my laptop it does not update the report on POWER BI SERVICES even after a refresh. Unless I manually open the .PBIX file and refresh that in POWER BI DESKTOP. Can you help me with that,? So that I can automate the published reports to be updated without having the need to open a .PBIX and refreshing it everytime?

hi there! is the process the same for excel files? (u gave an example with txt)
