Is it possible to automatically refresh the data source in MS Teams?

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I am getting the same type of excel file weekly (same amout of columns, same tables etc) but with a different name.

My goal is it to automate the refresh of the data source within our MS Teams environment.

Is this even possible?

Do you have any suggestions for me?

Thanks in advance!

@Anonymous  I think files which are saved in MS-team are normally saved on the sharepoint folders. In your case, if your new file has new data and you wish to have it also in your powerbi dashbaord. You can try using sharepointfolder option to see if it works for you. 

Below is the link that you can guide in the right direction.
