Hey - I have created a few dataflows. I have scheduled these to run periodically.
I have then used these dataflows in excel to create reports. The user can refresh in excel and pick up from the last dataflow scheduled refresh.
I am now looking for a solution to use power automate to allow the user within excel to refresh the dataflow on an ad-hoc basis.
(Scenario being that they have posted some data and want to ad-hoc see the report without waiting for the next scheduled refresh - and I do not want to add the complication of them clicking refresh in power bi)

VBI. (very bad idea) How do you prevent your users from smashing that refresh button repeatedly?
