    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    The Azure Analysis Services is a kind of cloud data source, it needn't to use gateway and it is not possible to configure the schedule refresh interval for the single data source separately. That means the data won't be imported into Power BI Service, and you don't need to run a data refresh, the data refresh synchronizes datasets and reports in Power BI Service with the underlying data in Azure Analysis Services.

     

    However, Power BI still performs tile refreshes and possibly report refreshes, as the next section on refresh types explains. A tile is a report visual pinned to a dashboard, and dashboard tile refreshes happen about every hour so that the tiles show recent results. You can change the schedule in the dataset settings using the option "Schedule cache refresh" , or force a dashboard update manually by using the Refresh Now option.

     

    For reference:
