Ability to exclude a table from Data Refresh (scheduled, manual, API, etc.) in the Service.
In PBI Desktop, we have an option "Include in report refresh" we can disable for a table. But it won't affect PBI Service.

I would really want to know why this wasn't fixed yet.

This is clearly a bug! Should be fixed as soon as possible.

I thought that I had found a way to prevent refresh failures, but then I learned this... Not only is this counter to my goals of disabling "include in report refresh", but it's poorly communicated as well.

Was pointed here from this forum thread: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Disabling-quot-Include-in-report-refresh-quot-not-working/m-p/433165#M199673

I, for one, am absolutely APALLED that Microsoft would specify this as the 'default behavior'! It is the one huge oversight of the Power BI specifications.

Seriously, how can you specify TWO DIFFERENT behaviors for your product!

Let's get the word out to your fellow Power BI developers.

This is a must have feature for the service, especially for services like Google Analytics which have a limit before they reduce the accuracy of the queried results. How has this not been fixed yet?!
