    The fine print of the documentation may have been lost. APR is only available for direct query data sources. All it does is emulate user activity. That should answer all your other questions.

    Hi Anonymous 

    If you compare automatic refresh with manual click, the difference between them maybe one need you to click refresh button and one is automatic.

Hi Rico,

Thanks for getting back to me. I understand that APR needs to be on a DirectQuery data source. I think the major confusion I have had is if say I'm on a directQuery data source, what will be the difference between the APR and I manually click on the Refresh command from the ribbon? Or there is just no difference besides one is manual click and the other one is automated.

Thanks
