Connecting Power BI to PowerApps, one data source but different update dates

[Sriks]

Hi,

I just created a PowerBI report wich has to be embedded in a SharePoint Team site. 

My problem is that, the PowerApp data is refreshed using Refresh('list_name') inside of the app so the data is up to datewhenever a refresh occured; but my dataset data, comming from the same sharepoint list is only refreshed once a day.

I do know that i can get the data from 'PowerBiIntegration' in my powerapp. Here i am looking for a way to do the opposite (get the data of my PowerApps and put it in my Power BI visuals each time the SharePoint page is loaded).

Is there a way to do so ?

If not, what way do i need to use to be sure that when my SharePoint page is refreshed, the data is.

Thanks in advance,

Sriks

Hi @Sriks ,

For the data that you import into Power BI, it is impossible to refresh automatically. It cause that the data isn't always latest. You need to refresh it manually, or configure schedule refresh in the Power BI Service.

Configure scheduled refresh 

For the data from PowerApp, due to refresh that you set, it is up to date whenever a refresh occurred.
