Power BI Web Update
Hi robsanser ,
If data is imported to power bi desktop, you will need to re-publish the pbix for updated data to reflect in power bi services.
You can set gateways in Services and schedule refreshes so that changes in database/source gets automatically reflected in services.
Give a thumbs up if this post helped you in any way and mark this post as solution if it solved your query !!!
According to the user, she does not want to use gateways and in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZokiuLL9mjo&feature=youtu.be it is indicated that if you use Drive it is not necessary.
It should be able to update from the web without needing to update in dextop
Hi robsanser ,
Usually automatic refresh of reports in power bi services are done by Configuring Scheduled Refresh of its dataset.
Some refresh scheduling require gateways while some don't depending on the type of database being used.
As per microsoft documentation,
"The Scheduled refresh section is where you define the frequency and time slots to refresh the dataset. Some data sources do not require a gateway to be configurable for refresh; other data sources require a gateway."
From the youtube video link you sent, check the video portion after 5 minutes and you will see the user configuring refresh schedules.
Check this below documentation and this should probably clear your concerns:
