    Hi indhu,

     

    >>Once published, we used get data -> excel/files to get the .pbix file and the scheduled refresh option one drive refresh is turned on.

    When you direct get pbix file from onedrive on power bi service, refresh option only trigger when that source file(pbix) updated. Any update/modify on datasource of pbix file not trigger onedrive refresh.

     

    I'd like to suggest you take a look at following link to know more about this:

    Creating a auto refreshing report on Power BI Service with CSV file saved on OneDrive as datasource

     

    Regards,

    Xiaoxin Sheng
