Solved: Can't refresh data in PBI on line dashboard

wrybel · ‎05-01-2017

Hi Experts,

I have a free account of Power BI, my data are in Excel file. I make a dashboard from this file in Power BI on-line but I can't refresh data ? Is it possible with PBI free ? Do I have to set up PBI Gateway ?

Thanks for help !

@wrybel You can't use a gateway and schedule a refresh on the dataset unless you have a Pro license. You would have to manually refresh the Desktop file, and republish in order for the data to get updated in the Service.
