Staggered data refreshes

Hi all,

 

Quick question.  I've built a report with 3 different web data sources.  To build this at it's most efficient I'd like to change when the various sources update, is that possible?

 

So my 3 data sources

 

1 - lookup data - weekly refresh

2 - baseline data - daily refresh

3 - closer to realtime data - 15 minute refresh

 

Is there a way to set it up like that or do you have to pull all sources every 15 minutes?

    Hi daveedd ,

     

    Scheduled Refresh.

    For datasets in shared capacity used by Power BI Pro, your Scheduled Refresh action is limited to eight refreshes per day. In Premium capacities, limit 48 refreshes per day.

    Note also that the configured refresh time might not be the exact time when Power BI starts the next scheduled process. Power BI starts scheduled refreshes on a best effort basis. The target is to initiate the refresh within 15 minutes of the scheduled time slot, but a delay of up to one hour can occur if the service can't allocate the required resources sooner.

     

    Refresh dataset using REST API.

    For Shared capacities, a maximum of eight requests per day, which includes refreshes executed using a scheduled refresh.

    For Premium capacities, the maximum requests per day is only limited by the available resources in the capacity. If available resources are overloaded, refreshes are throttled until the load is reduced. The refresh will fail if throttling exceeds 1 hour.

     

    You can schedule refreshes based on when customers are likely to view the report.
