Cache management Power BI Services and Azure Analysis Services cube












0















Hello,



I'm publishing a Power BI report with an Azure Analysis Services cube as source. The thing is that when I open it for the first time in PBI Services, all the visuals and measures are loading which is fine. I'm waiting till the end but then if I close the report and come back later, all the measures will load again and it really is a problem for my customers. I know I can schedule a cache refresh but even if I do so, the reports will still refresh every time I open them.



Any idea to solve this ?



Thanks a lot.

          In case you are using live connection, switching to imported should speed things up. This means that when getting the data from SSAS, you should select Import option:



          enter image description here



          When importing data, your report will not work with the "live" data, but with a cached copy. This will speed things up, but you will need to schedule a refresh. However, with SSAS you probably do not work with live data too. Usually there is a nightly ETL, which will refresh the data in your model. So you may want to schedule a refresh of your dataset at appropriate time, after the refresh of SSAS is completed.



          You can read more about Live connection vs. Import here.



          Unfortunately, I don't think you can switch this option for existing reports. There is an idea for which you can vote, though. So you may need to re-create your report to do that.
