Power Bi Service Refresh

Hello All.

 

I have Power bi file (Pbix) in One Drive for buisness and the Dataset is connected to Oracle through that file. After completing I have uploaded the dataset from power bi services get data from One drive for business.

 

As i am not a Pro User, i cannot set schedule refresh but One drive for business update should happen hourly, which is not happening. I have also set the personal gateway and also I have edited the crediatials of the dataset to the right one. Still no update hourly from One Drive.

 

Please help me underdatnd y the update is not happening hourly. Am i doing something wrong.

Hi @santoshrnath,

In this scenario, if you make changes to your pbix file on OneDrive, like add new measures, change column names, or edit visualizations, once you save, those changes will be updated in Power BI too, usually within about an hour.

 

However, if you want to schedule a refresh for the dataset of the pbix file, you still need to setup a refresh schedule by using Schedule Refresh on Power BI service. For more details about this, please refer to Refresh a dataset created from a Power BI Desktop file on OneDrive, or SharePoint Online.Smiley Happy
