Sharepoint dashboard with live data?
Dear Community,
For a project I want to link Power BI to a Sharepoint list. We want the dashboard to show live data rather than hourly refreshes. Is this possible?
A yes or no would already help me a lot. If yes, do you have a guide or a link that shows me how to create such a connection?
Thanks in advance for your time,
Michiel Witting

I think it depends on your status, are you a pro user or using a free license?

For showing live data of a sharepoint, I'm not aware of any approach other than calling Power BI REST API.
You don't even have to be a pro user if you have coding skill and know how to extract that data from Sharepoint programmatically. And then you can push data from sharepoint to Power BI service, say every 10 minutes. Check Push data into a Power BI dashboard.
Also check the Power BI REST API limitations.
