HI @AtharNoraiz,

 

AFAIK, when you works on power bi desktop site, data source with direct query mode or live connection models support to automatically update.

 

For import mode, you need to manually refresh datasources to get last data.

 

If you publish these reports to service side and setup schedule refresh, they can auto updated based on frequency you configured.
