    Hi 4Eric,

    In Power BI desktop, we can't refresh automatically, you can create report in Power Bi desktop, then publish it to service. Install a gateway, add a datasource in your gateway, and configure a refresh schedule, the dataset and repot will update based on your schedule. More details, please review the following articles.

    Publish from Power BI Desktop
