Hi All, I have the following challenge.
We daily upload a certain CSV file on Google Drive.
This CSV file is the dynamic datasource for some Power BI Desktop dashboards/reports.
Within Power BI desktop certain fixed datareshaping and formatting take place.
My question is how could we automatically upload hourly/daily this new CSV file from Googledrive into Power BI Desktop which secures that also the dashboard in Power BI Services will be refreshed and updated hourly/daily.
I was thinking about the following work flow but I am sure there a better ones as I am not experienced in setting up such automated work flows and data imports.
CSV dump in to Google drive - on Google drive this CSV file will be hourby transformed in a Googlessheet by Sheet and Go. From there it will be automatically imported in Power BI by a fixed URL (as seen on Youtube:

Looked forward to your remarks/suiggestions
As far as I know, there is no elegant way. You could also create a support ticket for assistance.
