How to refresh data?

I have a SharePoint list and excel from a file as my data source for power BI desktop.

 

I published a report and pinned it to a dashboard.

 

now when the list and/or excel spreadsheet is updated, how do I get this reflected in the published report/dashboard?

 

(edit: I tried following the online tutorial but can't get the numbers to update).

Hi @PBInonpro , 

 For the excel file, you need to install a Power BI Gateway, or you can use OneDrive if you have access to it.
