Solved: Automatic refresh Azure table storage

Nikki · ‎05-26-2016

Hi there

I have an azure table storage datasource and im wondering if it is possible for Power BI to perform a live refresh of this in the web. When viewing the report in power BI desktop the refresh automatically happens but in the browser the report only refreshes daily. I need to know how i can get the report data in the web updated live.

any feedback appreciated.

thanks

Nikki

@Nikki are you sure in power bi desktop refresh automatically happens ? you might be confusing that with Import since DirectQuery (live connection) feature I dont believe is availabe for azure table storage. If you want power bi service to connect live to azure currently it only can to Azure SQL DB, Azure SQL DW and Spark on HDInsight.
