Power App update table visual automatically

I created a power app (on the left side of the screen above) that updates a SQL server database table. The top right visualization is pulling data automatically in Power BI in service (this is a direct query setup in Power BI). So, as soon as I press add name in power app the name it pops up in the table above. This part works beautifully.

 

To give you a background, my company wants to add number of names in the app and see how many people are currently employed with the company and generate a list of names. At the same time, they want a separate list of people who do not work with the company.  The first part works fine because I have access to db table that has people who are currently employed (this is also a direct query in Power BI). However, I want to generate a list of people who do not work with the company. For this I created a new table in Power BI which uses “except” DAX statement. However, this does not automatically update the table in Power BI service. Also, the only way I can update the DAX table (with people who are not currently employed) is in Power BI desktop when I run the refresh button. Otherwise it remains static.  

 

Is there a way to automatically update/refresh a list of people who do not work for the company?
