I have an Atomsvc file.
I can open in excel.
I can upload the excel file to Power Bi.
Questions...
1. Will the excel file and Power Bi file auto-update as the data changes from the website that the atomsvc is calling up? or do I need to "open" the excel file in order to update the file?
2. is there a way for Power Bi to "talk" to google sheets in order to have a live google sheet? I see google sheets talking to the Power Bi but not the other way.
Thank you
Hi ydobwonk ,
According to your description, if you need to do a refresh dataization, for excel, you need to manually open the Excel file and refresh it to extract the latest data from the source.

For power BI Desktop, you can perform a file refresh.For uploading to power bi service, you need to configure timed refresh. The method of refreshing depends on what software you are using.

Second question, power bi can now fetch data directly from google sheets by fetching the data.

If you want to do it the other way around, there is no direct way to do it, but you can export the data to a csv file and upload it to the google sheet.
