Can Odata as Datasource, can give us LIve Connection
Hi,
I am consuming OData feed as a Datasource in my power bi report.
So my concern is, Can I get a live connection, I mean no need to refresh the Dataset.
(My database is MongoDB and it is in cloud instance)

Hi ukantkumar ,
Nope, live connection only works on specific datasource, I think it is impossible to enable on odata feed connector.
For your requirement, I'd recommend you to refer to following links to create a custom connector to enable 'direct query' mode on odata feed, it will refresh when you interact with visual data:
Enabling direct query for a data source via an odbc driver
