How to get data automatically from source Web.

Hello

 

The 8th of April I created a report with data from this URL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_ti...

but I'm not able to get the new data automatically from the website that it's updated on a daily basis.

 

Thank you

Hello. The data won't refresh automatically just beacuse it is online. Power Bi is getting and importing data once when you work with it. Then you have to configure a "Schedule Refresh" for the dataset in order to configure up to 8 refreshes by day in Power Bi Service.
