But i have to use imprt option only for updating the data in cloud. I cannot use Direct Query.

I don't think Azure Stream Analytics fits your scenario here. We always use Azure Stream Analytics to analyze high-volume, streaming data and get insight from a real-time Power BI analytics dashboard.

Stream Analytics is a data streaming technology under Azure list of services. With this technology you can pass data from input (such as Event Hub) to one or more outputs. Note that Stream Analytics is not a data storage.

 

If you have to use import instead of direct query. You can only schedule refresh as below. And refresh dataset manually when you want to get the updated data immediately.
