When the pbix file is updated (published via Get Data) or whenever a new pbix overwrites a current report, the dataset should be refreshed.

What happens currently is that the report may be weeks out of data when republished, and this old data replaces current data on apps (even without republishing). Instead, the dataset should always be refreshed when the pbix source changes.

RE: Refresh data upon change to the report

UNLESS the published report has newer data than the refresh schedule. For example today is Thursday, the report is on a weekly Monday refresh schedule and the uploaded report has been refreshed on Wednesday.

RE: Refresh data upon change to the report

Everytime I publish a report, as long as the report is scheduled, it forces an "on demand" refresh at publication time.

what scenario are you talking about?
