    Based on your description, you want to configure schedule refresh for another dataset. If you connect to on-premises data sources in this dataset, you should firstly add all the data sources within on-premises gateway, then go to Settings->Datasets and find your dataset in Power BI Service, you will be able to schedule refresh for that dataset.

    If you still have questions about refresh, please post the screenshot about your scenario, we need to know the data sources contained in your dataset.

Anonymous,

I am not very clear about your scenario. Do you connect to local CSV file in Power BI Desktop, create report in Power BI Desktop and publish the report to Power BI Service? If that is the case, as long as you don't set schedule refresh for your dataset in Service, the dataset will not be automatically refreshed.

And if you still have questions about refresh in Power BI, please post screenshots about your scenario so that we can provide you better suggestions.

Regards,
Lydia

Yes, you have described my scenario correctly. The problem is I have another dataset which is set for scheduled refresh. My anticipation was, when I publish to Power Bi service after connecting to local file, it would show up somewhere in the Web view and I should be able to configure it. Unfortunately, I do not see it listed anywhere. 

 

How can I configure the settings to refresh the other data source but not the one connected from local machine.

 

Thanks.
