Working with OneDrive
Hi all
I am new to BI and have a question about handling data
I have created a set of data in excel files saved in one drive, I then created all the reports my company needs to see in powerbi desktop and shared them as an app workspace and at the moment I am manually refreshing every time any of the excel files change.
My question is I have read in multiple places that you can connect your power bi reports to onedrive to keep everything automatically updated when someone changes the excel files but I cannot see how to do this with something already created in powerBI desktop?

Hi DaveyP,
In your scenario, you can configure Schedule Refresh for the dataset after publish to service.

Thanks for the reply, with a scheduled refresh does it have to connect through my laptop or can it go straight to onedrive to get the files?
DaveHi DaveyP,
In Power BI service, we can import Excel workbook stored in OneDrive as a dataset and enable schedule refresh. See: Refresh a dataset created from an Excel workbook on OneDrive, or SharePoint Online.
