Create historic data table with Web incoming data
Dear Greg and all,
i finally managed to do it using a Dataflow and a Dataset. The i schedule refresh intervals for both and the report is always up to date.
More information on how to do it you can find under this page - which was really heplful for me :

So far i don't see any drawbacks with this approach apart from the fact tha the data update is a bit slow.

Dear Greg,
i finally managed to do it using a combination of dataflows and datasets. The update interval has to be set with a difference of 30 minutes in order for this to work correctly.
Some instructions can be found under this link https://exceed.hr/hr/blog/incremental-refresh-using-powerbi-pro-and-dataflows
So generally no. What I would recommend would be to setup a process via Power Automate or other means by which files are copied to a single folder and given a unique name. Then use a Folder query in Power BI.
