Data Refresh from locally stored excel files
Hi,
I have built a Power BI Desktop Data model using Excel files stored in my local machine (Not sharepoint or onedrive). The data in excel is updated once every day.
Ideally, I would want to publish the report to Power BI Service and schedule a data refresh (From the local excel files).
Is there a reccomended way I can achieve this?
I apprecieate the help.
Thanks!

It is a simple way, You need to install a gateway, then set up the gateway for the dataset

Now configuring scheduled refresh for it.
