    In your Excel file, are the Power Queries writing to the data model, just back to an Excel table or both?

    You will be able to refresh it but those who don't have Pro account will lose ability to see it the minute you set up scheduled refresh

Gnoom,

As a free user you can set a scheduled update 1x per day

If you want to refresh more than that, you need to be a Pro User.

 

Here is a list of capabilities for each based on free/Paid
