Dataflow refreshes

[Anonymous]

Hi, I have set a dataflow that connects to SharePoint online And then my dataflows connect to Power BI dashboard as a dataset My questions is: I'm already having a refresh schedule for dataflows DO I also need a refresh schedule for my dataset(that connects to this dataflow)?

You need to have two refreshes (if i understood your problem correcty).

One refresh scheduler that updates the data to the target dataset and another refresh scheduler ( in PowerBI side) that gets the latest data from the dataset.

Im using direct query to fetch data from dataflows

If your dataset is doing direct query to the dataflows that already have a refresh schedule, no additional refresh should be needed.  You should be able to add something to your SharePoint list to test that out to confirm easily.
