Refresh dataset settings

I've been looking at the refresh dataset settings, and it seems like I can't set the refresh rate to less than 30 minutes...

 

Is there any way to set it to refresh every 5 minutes?

Hi @Anonymous ,
Using the scheduled refresh, minimum time between refreshes has to be atleast 30 mins.
You can try 2 things:
1 - Use DirectQuery instead of import mode so that there is no need to refresh in such a small 5 min duration

2 - Try refreshing via API: Not sure if this will help but it MIGHT
