    Hi James1965,

     

    Based on my test, We can connect to multiple .CSV files exist in OneDrive for Business in Desktop, we need to creat each web query to connect to separate .CSV file. After publish the report to service, we can go to the dataset settings enter credential for data source and set schedule refresh.

v-qiuyu-msft, just to be clear, are you saying it is not possible to have a OneDrive for Business "watch folder" that would be the source of a Power BI file, so that new CSVs uploaded to that folder would be automatically picked up by the file's preset query?
