Thank you very much for the input here: 

 

This thread is still relevant for me even though some time has passed since started.

 

So when even when I have an excel/csv file in onecloud and the power bi dektop file in onecloud, only the power bi dektop file is used when updating the data through the hourly onecloud refresh?

 

Do you know any way how to refresh hourly based on the excel/csv file?

lukas1  Have you had any success with this?  Am trying to achieve the same thing.  Have files being sent to Onedrive account, powerbi is set up to pull files in from the onedrive account using sharepoint files and have published report to service from get data within the service, but it's not updating

Any help, gratefully appreciated.

    I am basically in the same boat -  developed nice report in desktop and selected source file is from my onedrive (browse to onedrive file),   upon publish to web, creates a datasource that cannot be refreshed.    Can successfully create a onedrive data source in web Power BI from the source file, but then how do I connect it desktop? It seems I have to create a whole separate web report to connect now to the onedrive. - these are both MS products why do they not talk
