How can I automatically refresh data in a .pbix file saved on the server?

[MartaCz]

Hi,

I built a PowerBI report that updates the data every month. The data is updated according to the schedule set in Manage/Schedules refresh. In browser it always shows current data. However, when I save the report file to disk locally and then open it in Power BI Desktop, I do not see the current data. The downloaded file contains only the data that was imported when it was saved to the Power BI Report Server.
I would like the downloaded file to contain current data.

In file I use Data Connectivity mode as Import, because some end users do not have access to the database.

Thanks in advance.

No, I'm not aware of any tool or technique to achieve the outcome you are after

You cannot do this in Report Server, when you download a pbix it can only return the version of the file that was originally uploaded.

Do you know any external tools that will help solve this problem?
