Real Time refreshed dashboard with Excel source
Thanks for the answer Xiaoxin.
Maybe I was not clear enough but what is most important for me is that part of dataset would behave as "Direct Query" (this option is not avaialble with Excel sources) so update immediately after refreshing visuals (not hourly) and the other part of dataset would be in "Import Mode" refreshed hourly. Basically I want to achieve a "Direct Query" with Excel source but since I know it's not possible I'm looking for a potential workaround?

HI PshemekFLK,
Perhaps you can try to create a custom connector to enable the direct query mode on an ODBC-based connector: (excel support odbc driver)
