Automatic refresh of CSV. data in PowerBi desktop

Hi there,

 

I have created a very simple report within Power BI desktop, which is linked to a CSV. document on my laptops desktop. I am able to manually press 'Refresh' and the report updates as expected, and pulls through the latest data in the CSV (it is updating continually). Is there a way that I can automate this process so I can refresh the report every 5 to 10 seconds, for example?

 

Many thanks,

 

Marc

You wiill have to publish the report to the server and then setup schedule refresh using a gateway. You need to have a Pro account to publish the report to start with.

 

Below is the video explaining how to setup schedule refresh.
