Auto refresh data in Power BI desktop

[ahamad_ezaz]

There must be an option to refresh data through schedule in power bi desktop application. Please add this important feature.

Yes this should really be part of the standard solution!! A schedule once per day is tbh useless.

Very important. As well because the dataload over Gateway is not always running!

For near real-time On-premise data, Round trip to portal takes too long, requires an on-prem gateway, and currently doesn't allow for 2-5 minute refreshes. Ideally, I'd like a setting in Desktop that sends the Queries to On-premises sources and once all the data returns, send it again so I get as close to a real-time dashboard as possible but accounts for variations in network and database response speeds (dynamic). Please not something that is blinky on each update.

Is it already done 🙂 ?

Desperately needed

[gbodner]

Really need to keep Desktop updated with Power Query of Excel to get valid scheduled updates in PBI service.

There are situations where PBI desktop can use a data source that the Power BI Report server cannot use - in this case it is necessary to have an auto refresh function in PBI desktop. Like I am facing in fetching ApInsight Telemetry in Power BI.

desperately needed. Can set Excel to do this why not Power BI Desktop?

[andrea80]

want to use it as a near-real-time dashboard... without data refresh this is not possible. I agree with the others, this should be part of the basic functionality.

desperately needed. It shouldn´t be complex
