    I would like my PowerBi to update automatically as soon as a piece of data is added to my sharepoint list

    DANGER DANGER DANGER.

     

    I strongly recommend you create a de-bouncer process in Power Automate to prevent refresh requests from bombarding the Power BI service.   That process needs to probe if a refresh is currently in progress, and needs to delay any new request for a reasonable amount of time.

      Hi!

      I have my data under sharepoint list. I would like my PowerBi to update automatically as soon as a piece of data is added to my sharepoint list.

      Is it achievable?

      Currently, I need to refresh my data in powerbi.

      Thanks.
