Just stared using PowerBI with inhouse Sql Server

I dont publish to web, just use from my own desktop

Everytime the data chnages though, I have  to click the 'Refreh' button, whcih can take 30 minutes

I would like to have this done at night, so when I go inot PowerBI, it is showing latest figures and graphs

 

1.   Is this possible ?

2.  I an using Free Version, so will this cost anything ?
