    Hi cmncp,

    Firstly, for excel located in on-premises SharePoint site, we need to use Windows authenticaion. For Excel located in SharePoint Online, we need to use OAuth2 authentication.

    Secondly, to access on-premises data source, gateway is required when refreshing dataset. And both personal gateway and on-premises gateway require Pro.

    Thanks,
    Lydia Zhang

Similar issue, my file has data from tabular model and 2 sheets of plain table data.

 

Created excel file with 2 sheets of plain table data and 3 sheets with pivot table connecting to tabular model(external data connection). developed Power Bi report off of this file.

 

This file is saved in sharepoint site but need help to understand how this file can be refreshed automatically including the data refresh, so that power bi displays latest data.

 

has anyone come across this issue?
