Hi there,
I am creating a datasource which plan to extract data on weekly basis by using Power BI.
I have created a Power BI file, which import several files from my desktop, and the Power BI File upload to my office 365 Account (in MyWorkspace). I can extract the data via Excel for further analysis.
However, I can't refresh the data by clicking the button highlighted in yellow below.
Inquiry:
1. Any setting may help me solve my problem?
2. If I can't use the Power BI file uploaded to My space. Any chances I can connect my Power BI file as datasource which save in my desktop?
Thank you so much,
KC
@kenchan , On the three dots in front of dataset, you have an option for setting.
Then make sure datasource setting and on- premise setting(if needed) are done to make sure refresh works
