Real time Data & Dashboard scheduled refresh
No, it doesn't, but Apache Impala does. You can connect Mysql to Apache Impala and then Power BI connect to Impala in real time.

davisk_mnst I know that option but the disadvantage is we can schedule 8 times a day in Schedule refresh, but i need a real time data refresh..is there any possible way ?
Thanks!
I know that you are using mysql. What about connecting the data to Apache Impala. https://impala.apache.org/index.html.
That way you can use DirectQuery and have a live connection to the data.
davisk_mnst FYI, MySql doesn't have DirectQuery option.
