Power BI dataset refresh with Azure Data Factory

Hi. It depends on the architecture. If you have some pipelines moving data from different sources to load a datawarehouse with your bi model. You are probably using data factory to orquestrate this. In that case it's a good idea that the last step in the data factory orquestration will refresh power bi. That way you keep consistency that everything will run after it finishes the last task. That way you prevent that the schedule is run and the data is not ready.

If you are using data factory in a different scenario to run some data but not all of them and you are not sure that after your process you can run a power bi refresh, then you can schedule it.

Hope it make sense for you.
