Power BI Desktop - Refresh at launch

[Jean-Nicolas]

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to automatically refresh data at the launch of power bi desktop instead of clicking on the Refresh button?

Thanks

My data source is 2 Access files stored localy on my PC.

From my understanding I need to refresh data in Power BI Desktop and then publish the report so data can be up to date in my workspace.

I've read a few things about gateways but as I'm working exclusively in local, PBI Desktop seemed to be great.

Now I open my pbix file everyday and it happened a few times that I forgot to click on refresh. If it could refresh automatically at launch I could be sure that my data are up to date.

You probably could implement an automation process like that but why do you need that? You can schedule refreshes in Power BI service
