Live data sets from Data World and csv files

[atin]

Hi All 

I recently downloaded a CSV file on the COVID 19 crises from data.world and created some sets of visualisations around this

• How do I link my current data on Power BI with the updated data from data world?
• How do I overwrite my existing dataset in Power BI with the new updated information from data world and create an automatic refresh. 

At the moment I am downloading new data daily and refreshing my csv files with the new information 

Many thanks

If the data they are providing externally is only via a downloaded CSV, that is how you do it. Download, referesh. If they are posting it in a table format to the web, you can use the web connector. Or if they are providing any other kind of feed - ODATA for example.

But if CSV is it, then it is download/refresh. Just looking at their site, that appears to be what they are doing. I don't see any automatic connection methods at first glance.
