Data Refresh One Drive for Business (Pro?)
vrossouw These scenario's can get muddy fast depending on what you are doing. What is the data source in the OneDrive location? Excel? Is it connected to anything on premises, how are you refreshing the files?
Most scenarios do not require a refresh to be scheduled, but you should be able to schedule a daily refresh... Anything over 1x would require a Pro license.
Anonymous The data in our One Drive for Business account are Excel "flat"files.. in other words not "live"data.
I found that as soon as I enable refresh (only once a day) and then go to the Share tab on my dashboard, a message appears which states that the dashboard contains Pro data. If I disable the refresh, then the "Pro "message also disappear.
I was under the impression that one refresh was allowed per day for free, but it seems as if this is not the case anymore?
In Power BI, the data source is the web url, connecting to my excel files in one drive. Our business switched over to One Drive as a source as it was understood that you then don't need a Pro licence for refreshing through a On Premises Gateway.
I need the free option to work.
