You don't mention what version of CA you are using and in what context.
The link from Babu is valid for Cognos for Microsoft Office.
Here is a newer link for that:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEP7J_11.1.0/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.ug_cxc.doc/c_coc_gt_strtd_refreshdata.htmlIf you are using Cognos for Microsoft Office that should be sufficient.
If you are using uploaded files in Cognos Analytics then the process should be a bit simpler.
If you have changed the metadata of the file or any module which consumes the file and then is used in a report, then it could be necessary to update the report.
If you have not changed the metadata but only added data to the file then the report or dashboard should automatically pick up the new data and not require any additional actions. There could be data cache latency.
