    Hi. Well, it's tricky. Depending on the license you have you might have different alternativas. Considering most people have Pro licenses. The pro has a limitation of 8 automatic refreshes per day. So if you are refreshing the dataset for each changes you make in the day, it might hit a limitation really fast and keep you with the manual way all over again. (That would be done with Power Automate.)

    I would probably configure 8 refresh a day during working hours.

    I hope that helps,

Thanks so much for your time!

I will use PA, as my reports need refreshing just once a week.
