  • Hi, Neha_Shukla 

     

    Please check if the refresh is completed on this page, and if it fails, please click details to see the details of the failure.

     

    When you store a Power BI Desktop file on OneDrive or SharePoint Online, any data you’ve loaded into your file’s model is imported into the dataset. Any reports you’ve created from the file are loaded into Reports in the Power BI service. Let's say you make changes to your file on OneDrive or SharePoint Online. These changes can include adding new measures, changing column names, or editing visualizations. Once you save the file, Power BI service syncs with those changes too, usually within about an hour.

     

    When you import your Power BI Desktop file from OneDrive or SharePoint Online, you load data and model information into a dataset in Power BI. You'll want to refresh the dataset in the Power BI service because that's what your reports are based on. Because the data sources are external, you can manually refresh the dataset by using Refresh now or you can set up a refresh schedule by using Schedule refresh.

     

    Here are the relevant links, hope it can help you.

    Sharepoint does not support live connection, you can use power automate to refresh your dataset when any entry will be made/updated
