Dashboard wont be refreshed when computer is offline

[maryfree86]

My dashboard was not refreshed when my computer is offline. Is there anyway the dashboard can be automatically refreshed when my computer is offline?

Hi, @maryfree86 

You need to keep your computer turned on (sleeping/disconnecting will cause the meter to not refresh properly).

First, you need to have On-premises Data Gateway Standard Edition (Enterprise Edition):

Power BI Gateway | Microsoft Power BI

Configure your gateway correctly:

Install an on-premises data gateway | Microsoft Learn

Connect to your on-premises data source in Power BI service via the gateway:

Add or remove a gateway data source - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

If you want to be able to keep your dashboard refreshing while your computer is offline, move your data to a cloud data source. For better integration with Power BI, you can consider cloud data sources like SharePoint, Azure SQL Server, etc.

@maryfree86 You need to install a data gateway on a machine that is always on.
