Hi, Anonymous 

 

I'd like to suggest you import files from OneDrive or SharePoint Online into the Power BI service, which is a great way to make sure your work in Power BI Desktop stays in sync with the Power BI service. These changes can include adding new measures, changing column names, or editing visualizations. Once you save the file, Power BI service syncs with those changes too, usually within about an hour. 

 

For further information, you may refer to the following documents.

Refresh a dataset stored on OneDrive or SharePoint Online 

Connect to files stored in OneDrive for your Power BI workspace 

Data refresh 

 

Best Regards

Allan

    Thanks for your reply!

     

    However, I want to reduce the waiting time even more (<5mins).

     

    Perhaps it's an option to work with a dataset with a limited amount of rows in it based on a paramater. For example if paramater subset is set to yes, a top 1000 is loaded and if not the entire dataset is loaded.

     

    Any thoughts on this?
