    Hi Heinrich 

     

    Import mode refresh automatically happens only on Power BI service. but if you want your Power Bi desktop report should automatically refresh you have to manaullay refresh it by clicking on refresh button. 

     

    Power BI desktop report wont refresh automatically everytime you want lastest data you have to hit refresh button. But once you setup the gateway and schedule a refresh on Power bi service it will refresh on daily weekly basis.

     

    I hope I answered your question!
