Schedule Data Refresh Issues

[GilesWalker]

I have the free desktop version and want to set up a daily refresh of the dashboards in the web version (data is from local excel files and local SQL database).

From what I am reading if I get the Pro version I can set up refreshing schedules but none of the free users will see this. Is there a way to set up a once a day refresh from the desktop version for all my dashboards on the web app?

Thanks,

@GilesWalker As your post states there are several things in play that require you to have a Pro license and then refresh your data. (Sql db connection, refresh - personal gateway) And your assumption that you can't share with free users if you use Pro content is accurate. Based on the above, "no" there is no support for an automated "Pro" to "Free" scenerio using the PBI Desktop and your data sources.
