    Hi Paulien1989,

    For online service providers like Google Analytics, no user configuration is necessary in order for the dataset to be refreshed on a regular basis on Power BI Service, the refresh is automatic and usually occurs once-a-day. For more details, you can refer to this article. :smileyhappy:

Hi Paulien1989

 

As far as I know the connection is not live but it does refresh on a schedule that you can't control.   I think it's at least daily.  There might be some documentation from MS somewhere.
