Need Help with Power BI Desktop: Real-Time Data Refresh from MongoDB
When it comes to Internal Power BI Server (Assuming a Private Cloud environment), don't think there will be any specific issues with respect to Power BI Desktop.
Few things you can keep in mind as far as I know are
1. The Power BI Desktop version may be different for Private Power BI Server and generally available Power BI Desktop
2. Release schedule might differ for the versions (So not all latest additions to Power BI might be available with your Internal Power BI Server).
The Above things you can check with your Power BI Admin to understand more about the policies applied to the Power BI Server
Regards,
Yes even with Premium License the maximum number of refreshes is 48 times a day. The Other option that you can think of is using a Direct Query / Live Connection with the DB. This will keep the data real time, but the down side is if the data is huge, you might have some performance issues
Thank you. Perhaps I need to explore using Direct Query / Live Connection to fulfill this requirement. Additionally, due to company policies, we need to use an internal Power BI server. I would like to confirm if there are any potential issues, aside from performance concerns, when using Direct Query or Live Connection.
