    I make a test as below:

     

    I have a folder with many excel files, everyday a new file is uploaded into this file.

    Let to say, yeaterday i have 1,2,3 excel file.

     

    1.Get data ->Folder->enter/browser the folder path(get all files in this folder)->Edit

    2.Combine files

     

    Today, i upload file 4 to this folder, then click on "Refresh All" in Power BI, it will get new data from file 4 into this table

     

    Best Regards
    Maggie

Thank you, Maggie. That does solve this particular problem.

 

Once I have uploaded it to the Power Bi online service and scheduled a report refresh, will that "Refresh All" as well?
