Unable to auto refresh Dataset using Power Automate due to Data Source Credentials being greyed out
- 3 years ago
Yes however i think i found the solution. I needed to get data in power bi from 'Web' and insert the local path URL of the spreadsheet found in the file Info section. This way Power bi points to the correct path without needing a gateway. Now i see options for credentials. I just need to configure credentials and hope it works.

You can add a new action in Power Automate using the Power BI connect and then select Refresh dataset (provide the workspace where the dataset is)
If the Excel file is stored in OneDrive for Business, you'll need to authenticate your account by clicking on the "Sign in" button and following the prompts.
Depending on your requirements you can choose "Push" or "Streaming" as the refresh type (under "Additional settings")
