data source is a Azure Sql Server DB. From what I'e read this type of datasource allows for auto updating. I don't see any update options in the report settings (not sure what you are referring to). I see the auto update in Power BI - and is set to update every hour. I read Power BI sets this automatically.

    Select teh work space you are using. Select Settings from the top right menu. Select Datasets from the top left menu. Select the dataset you are using for your report and the scheduling options should appear on the right. Power BI defaults to a daily refresh unless you tell it otherwise.

        Is it set the same for all datasets? You indicated you use multiple sets.
