hi guys, hope you are well.
I have developed a dashbaord that connects to a onedrive folder. Power BI conencts to an excel spreadsheet whereby the uses can update their data (% completed of a task). The problem is on the Power BI service the data does not refresh and i have to republish the dashboard to the service. How can i ensure that once data updates in excel occur that the dashboard will refresh?

Hi, @harpedb
Is your problem been solved? Have you connected to the gateway in the service and set refresh?
Reference: Configure scheduled refresh - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
If you still need help, Please feel free to ask me.

Hey @harpedb ,
can you show the query that you used?
Did you connect on the local onedrive path (C:\users\...) or on OneDrive via Web?
Best regards
Denis
