Automatically update in powerbi desktop (in the background)
hello dear community,
what i want to do is simply explained, but according to my research difficult to implement.
PowerBI Version: 2.100.1401.0 64-bit (December 2021)
I want to simulate the click of this button:
I am aware that there are several things to consider here, as the powerbi file can be used by multiple users on multiple clients. but isn't there a way to store the powerbi file somewhere on the network and update it automatically? Maybe through a batch script or something like that.
I am very grateful for any suggestions for solutions.
Beste Regards
Simon

Hi simon1056 ,
You can try using the Power BI page auto-refresh feature,Automatic page refresh in Power BI enables your active report page to query for new data, at a predefined cadence, for DirectQuery sources. Furthermore, Automatic Page Refresh supports Proxy Models as well.
There are a few things to keep in mind when you use automatic page refresh in Power BI Desktop or in the Power BI service:
- Import storage mode is not supported for automatic page refresh.
- Composite models that have at least one DirectQuery data source are supported.
- You can only have one change detection measure per dataset.
- There can only be a maximum of 10 models with change detection measure in a Power BI tenant.
For more information,you can refer to:Automatic page refresh in Power BI
Also you can configuration Schedule Refresh on Power BI Service.
You can learn about data refresh in Power BI and how to configure scheduled refresh . This is a very useful feature for almost all situations.
Hope it helps,
