Could you please share more details about the data source configuration in your scenario?

By default the schedule refresh would work for all online data sources that could be connected directly through Power BI Desktop, please check the list through the following article:

Schedule Refresh

 

Things to note is:

If you have deifned function parameter within the connection string, then Schedule refresh will not work.

See the following idea for more details:

Make functions refreshable when the data source is a parameter of the function

      Currently not.

      Unless you remove the function defined in the Connection string.

       

      Another workaround is to use the Query Parameter instead of the custom Function.
