Getting Data from Desktop into Service

I want to create a dash board with live auto-refreshing data. I'm using data from Google Anaytics to create my dash. When I try to grab the data from Google under "services", I get a preset dash and what seems to be all the data that was picked out for use in this dash. However, this data seems very limited compared to what I am able to import on the Desktop program. How do I get that same data in the online service? 

 

From what I understand I can't have the Desktop version auto-refresh the data for me, so this seems like it's my only option right now. 

Need Help

        You will have to schedule the refreshing in the settings which can be up to 8 times a day.

    Hi there I did was to create my Google Analytics dataset using Power BI Desktop. I just used the Google Analytics Connector from under Get Data. I could then bring in the specific data that I wanted, as well as use the Query Editor to make the required changes.

    Then when I uploaded it to the Power BI Service, I then had the ability to schedule the refreshes from Google Analytics.

      So even though I import it in from Desktop first, then publish it to the online app, it will still auto-refresh?
