Hi Team,
This question was asked previously and wanted to know on the latest versions
I have used a direct query option to fetch data from the SQL server in to the Power BI.
Developed a report (2 pages) in the Power BI desktop and published to the Power BI Service.
I have used lot of calculated measures and applied transformations as well.
Questions:
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
If you use direct query your report is actual whenever you open it and send queries.
You only need a Data Gateway If you have datasources which are on premises.
Best,
Kathrin

Thanks @KBO
After I set up the gateway connection, should I be able to auto refresh the report page for every one minute with power BI pro.
Hi, it is automatically a refresh if you use direct query :). No extra settings needed. Best, Kathrin

hi
In the power bi docs it says
power bi pro had minimum auto refresh interval is 30 mins whereas
power bi premium has 1 min .
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-automatic-page-refresh
Is there a way to refresh at 1 min interval In POWER BI PRO ?
thanks
So you are asking if there is a way to circumvent the license restrictions?
Raise the idea on the forum, and if enough Pro users agree then maybe Microsoft will change the terms.
