Hi,
I built a report with SharePoint on-prem list as the data source. How often this data refreshes automatically? Ideally I would like to keep a live report. Whenever there is an update to the list, I would like to refresh the report.
How can I achieve this? Please advise.
Thanks,
For Sharepoint Online the official documentation says "within the hour" of a list change the dataset is refreshed. Let's say we found that to be inconsistent. You can always choose to refresh via schedule.
For on-prem sharepoint you need both a gateway and you need to set up your own refresh cadence, either via schedule, or via Power Automate (refresh Power BI Dataset when Sharepoint list has changed)
