    Once you load data into Power BI Desktop, you can refresh the data from the data source(s) by simply clicking the Refresh button in the Home tab of the ribbon.

     

    If you want this to happen automatically, you publish the report to the Power BI Service (using the Publish button on the Home tab ofthe ribbon). Once there, you find the dataset, click the ellipses and choose Schedule Refresh.

     

    You may or may not need a gateway to do the refresh.
