If you have multiple sources of data, with some large and small it would be ideal if you could just refresh one source (small) so it speeds up the process of updating the dashboard massively.

RE: refresh only one data source out of several

I wonder why this has not been considered yet. It should be a must have feature for Power BI service.

Definetely needed, would help PBI to have an edge on the competition! Very necessary.

Would be very useful - I need to make minor updates in smaller data sources. But this is always problematic since there's a large data source which takes about 1/2 hour per refresh.

need a feature to schedule refresh rate for different data sources. Some large source only need a weekly refresh whether small one need hourly refresh.

RE: refresh only one data source out of several

It's just a shame that Power BI doesn't allow to select sources to update... It makes the refresh feature useless for the most of my reports.

check box "Include in report refresh" only works in desktop. I have the problem in power bi service.

If you right click each of the data source in Edit Queries window, there should be a check box "Include in report refresh" where you can decide whether or not to refresh that source.

RE: refresh only one data source out of several

This is a vital requirement as often i want to refresh only specific queries which has been modified and not others.
