Call C# executable from a cloud flow to refresh Power BI dataset automatically

I have a requirement to call a C# executable from my Power BI report that can refresh dataset automatically in PBI service.

Point to note here is that my C# exe exports dataset results in Excel file(.xlsx). 

 

Now, the question is whether this scenario is at all possible in PBI service so that Scheduled Refresh works(by calling C# exe internally and importing the results from Excel file into PBI report)?

 

I can run C# console app locally and get data from excel in the report but I need to schedule it automatically in service. Is it somehow possible?

 

Thanks
