SharePoint Online List

Hi everyone!

 

I'm getting my data using SharePoint Online List. I was wondering if I publish my dashboard, will it update in real time as the SharePoint list I got also gets updated?

 

So if I publish a dashboard and then update something from the SharePoint list, will it also update my published dashboard?

Hi  @Anonymous ,

 

If you created your datasets and reports based on a Power BI Desktop file, Excel workbook, or comma separated value (.csv) file on OneDrive or SharePoint Online, Power BI performs another type of refresh, known asOneDrive refresh. 

 

Unlike a dataset refresh during which Power BI imports data from a data source into a dataset, OneDrive refresh synchronizes datasets and reports with their source files. By default, Power BI checks about every hour if a dataset connected to a file on OneDrive or SharePoint Online requires synchronization.

 

To review past synchronization cycles, check the OneDrive tab in the refresh history. The following screenshot shows a completed synchronization cycle for a sample dataset.
