Change Direct Query to Import query and Refresh

Hello
We are using the Power BI Templates of Microsoft for Stats.
Theser Reports are Direct Queries

Can they be changed to import query and also automatically refreshed.

 

If yes how can I refresh them automatically

 

Regards
Heinrich

  • 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!

    Hello Uzi2019 
    Hope you are doing well.
    Yes you are right.
    So in Power BI Service it would be possible, right?
    BTW. Do you know if it is possible to change CQD / QER from direct query to import query?
    Thank you very much
