Sharepoint Online List Data Source Auto / Scheduled Refresh not working

Hi there,

 

pretty new to PowerBI, so I hope my question is not too nooby:

 

I have created a report and connected a data source from a Sharepoint online ist. Got it working, data is loaded and when I refresh in BI Desktop, data changes are reflected. I have published the Report online and I am able to implement it on our Sharepoint via Iframe.

 

However, I cannot get auto refresh of data to work. When I go into the report settings, the scheduled refresh option is greyed out. 


I read that Sharepoint online lists do refresh automatically. But this also does not happen. I made some changes yesterday evening, and today these changes were not reflected in the iframe view / Power BI online portal. Only when I do a manual refresh in BI Desktop, then republish, changes are reflected in the iframe etc.

 

Any help how to get this working would be highly appreciated!

  • Hi nicop ,

    Sorry, I have tested for several times, it all could work on my side, could you have checked if you have edited the credential for your dataset:

    Hi nicop ,

    Based on my research, it could work on my side:

    In desktop, before I updated the data:

    Sample data in sharepoint list(Updated):

    In service:

    But it takes me almost 1 hour to make the refresh work, I suggest you try again.
