Typically this is done using the Service, are you not wanting to use the Service and want to automate a refresh from the Desktop?

    Hi,

    No Not possible you have to  publish the report to power bi serive there you can schedule the data source for refreshing.

        Hi Satish,

         

        In power bi desktop you do not have option to schedule the reports what we can do with desktop is we can create and publish reports to server/Service.

         

        After publishing the report you have to configure the gateway for refresh reports,If your using data source is Azure SQL Server then no need to install and configure the gateway.If your using other data sources you have to configure gateway.

         

        After configure the gateway you can schedule the reports for refresh in power bi service.

         

        Regards,

        Bajee.
