    Hi Anonymous,

    When we say data refresh, is it between the power Bi data set that is created using desktop and power bi service, or when i do some update on sharepoint lists , will it automatically get reflected in my Online reports. Please confirm.

    If you do some update on sharepoint lists , it will automatically get reflected in your Online reports, usually within about an hour.

    So what i understand is, this schedule refresh is bound to happen between the Power Bi desktop dataset and power bi online, and no where linked to the data in sharepoint online.

     

    No, there're no interactions between data refresh on Power BI Desktop and data refresh on Power BI online. When a data refresh happens(no matter on Desktop or online), it uses information in the dataset to connect directly to the data sources(your SharePoint Lists in this scenario) to query for updated data it then loads into the dataset. 

     

    For more details, please refer to Data refresh in Power BI.:smileyhappy:
