Excel Worksheet Automatic Update in Desktop?

Does PowerBI Desktop have any functionality that would allow automatic (or scheduled) data refresh when working with data imported from an excel workbook? If so, how would I set that up?

    Hi jkraush1,

     

    Currently there is such an functionality to schedule data refresh in Power BI desktop. 
    Schedule refresh would be available in Power BI services. You could configure gateway for data source (Excel file). Alternatively, you could upload your local Excel file to Ondrive or SharePoint.

    Reference: Data refresh in Power BI

     

    In addition, here is an idea, you could click to vote it up:
