Power Bi instant data update

Hi, Syndicate_Admin 

The data connection mode in your report determines whether the report can be refreshed in real time.
If it is in import mode, then the data will be scheduled to refresh.
If it is a direct query, then the data will be in real time.
What AlexisOlson  mentioned above is also an important way to refresh in real time.

Check out the differences between the three modes and choose the one that works for you.

direct query vs. import

DirectQuery, Live Connection or Import Data? Tough Decision!

If you notice that the scheduled refresh is not executing at the time you want, then check out this thread.
