Refreshing data from Amazon Redshift (connected to S3)

Hi,

 

 

I have data sitting in Amazon S3 and I've connected this data to Power BI via Amazon Redshift (link below).

 

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/tutorial-loading-data.html

 

I've copied the data from S3 into Redshift using SQL Workbench, but if the data in S3 is updated, how do I automatically load the new data into Redshift? And then how do I automatically load the new data from Redshift in Power BI?

 

I hope this makes sense..

    afk,

    Firstly, for that how to automatically load data from S3 to Redshift, please post the question in Amazon forum to get better support.

    Secondly, you can publish the Power BI Desktop file to Power BI Service, then set refresh schedule for your dataset in Power BI Service. This way, when your data is updated in Redshift, the updated data will be automatically load into Power BI based on the schedule. For more details, please review this blog.
