Automatic data refresh - Possible to set it up for a report in a different workspace than my dataset

Hello, 

 

I have published a report using Power BI datasets in a workspace, which is not where the datasets locate. 

 

I wonder if I am able to set the automatic refreshing schedule for my report in such case? I noticed that when I tried to set it in the setting, the refresh option is grey and I am not able to change it. 

 

Thanks a lot if anyone can give some suggestion!

 

Br,

Brenda

@Yiyi_1989 No, you setup dataset refresh on the dataset in the workspace where it is published.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Thanks for your reply! 

 

So does it mean that I can only automatically update my report if it is in the same workspace where the Power BI datasets are? 

 

What if I publish my report as an app, does it have the same limit? 

 

Thanks a lot for your answer.
