Real Time Data Refresh in power bi from Sharepoint list datasource

Hi,

I need to build up a report in which a user can create/Update Data in sharepoint list and can instantaneously see the data being updated in the Power BI report which has this share point list as a Data Source.

Is this possible ?

 

  • Hey,

     

    as Sharepoint lists are not supported by direct query connection mode.
    It's not possible, at least not if the report is published to Power BI service.

    You can schedule a refresh for the data source, if you are using Power BI Pro the number of refreshes is limited to 8 times a day, if you are on Power BI Premium you can setup a refresh schedule for up to 48times (every 30min).

     

    Hopefully this is providing what you are looking for.

     

    Regards,
    Tom
