Hello,
I have prepared a report in Power Bi desktop, for which the data source is a SharePoint List. Then I published this report in my workspace.
The problem is that the report prepared in Power Bi desktop I can refresh/update, while the published report in Power Bi app does not refresh itself.
Could you give me some guidance on what I should do?
I do not have a Pro licence, perhaps this is the problem?

Hi @BRL7WZ ,
According to your description, it seems that you have a free license. And the report didn't refresh after publish to Service. Am I right? If you have a free license, you can only refresh the data manually. Please note that any changes made in the Power BI Desktop need to be republished to the Power BI service to reflect in the online reports. Also, ensure that the credentials used for your data source are correct and up-to-date in the Power BI service.

Hello,
Thank you for the hint. I have already applied for a PRO licence, hopefully I will be able to automatically refresh.
Have a good day.
