    lvanam It sounds like you are asking about the specific data refresh. You can schedule a refresh in app.powerbi.com by going to the dataset - > clicking on the "..." to the right of the data set name and scheduling a refresh. If you have a "Pro" license, you can schedule a refresh up to 8x per day. If you don't have "Pro" you can schedule 1x a day, provided your dataset is just a Excel tab (no pivot table/power query) - as this would require a gateway and thus a "Pro" license.

    Depending on your scenerio, you can look here specifically, but you should be able to set up a refresh, so that when you update the file locally it will pull the information into the Dashboard and be visible to all end users.

    Essentially, in this case, the dataset you see is the dataset the end user has access to see via the reports you built.
