    Hi mit1 
    Schedule refresh is limited to 8 times a day with pro capacity and 48 times in premium so it can't meet a goal of 5 minutes intervals.
    So you need to use direct query or
    check the option of 

    real time streaming dataset or push dataset(manually push new records to dataset), they were more quickly than a scheduled refresh.

    Hello mit1 ,

     

    if your goal is to create a dashboard that refreshes every 5 min, then you need to use the direct query mode and set the automatic page refresh to 5 min. This won't work with import mode.
