Hi Gashaw,

 

Once the dataset is updated, any visualizations in your reports or dashboards based on the data are updated automatically.

 

If you want the dashboard to be refreshed automatically using the latest daily or monthly data, you should make sure the dataset is updated on schedule. If your connection makes use of a live connection or DirectQuery, the data will be update to date. But, in other cases, like with an Excel workbook or Power BI Desktop file that connects to an external online or on-premises data source, you’ll need to refresh manually or setup a refresh schedule (using gatewat) so Power BI can refresh the data in your reports and dashboards.
