How update reports without personal gateway?
Hi,
I am a new user of Power Bi.
I just can't figure out how to solve the one below.
How can I update reports at specific times if I do not use a personal gateway?
Is that possible?

Hi Frixel ,
Have you open the ONE DRIVE REFRESH in Power BI Service?
BTW, check the documents below, i think it will help you understand data refresh in Power BI.

It depends....
if your source is an excel file located in OneDrive folder (for business), the report will refresh automatically without a gateway.
if your sources are located on a local computer, DW, etc, then you need a gateway.
I'm not sure if there are other exceptions to this behaviour.
And if you mean an "Excel" file, is that also .csv file that is on onedrive?
And how when a file is on Sharepoint? is that also automatically renewed?
Yes, a csv file will work also, as long as it is on Onedrive for business. It doesn't work for personal Onedrive licenses.
Sorry, I can't help with the Sharepoint question. (I don't use Sharepoint....)
