Automatically refresh Excel files

Hello all,

 

I'm quite new to Power BI and still learning. 
I've build my report on excel files that gets updated overnight. Now, everyday I have to click the refresh button to get the updates from excel loaded in the query's and visuals. Is there a way to have this set so it will update everyday? Or to shedule it myself? 

thank you

Hello @Bnjmnrod ,

 

yes, you can get it to refresh automatically, it just shouls be in a cloud like onedrive or sharepoint and then you set the scheduale refresh from Power Bi service.
