    Hi adrian84 ,

     

    In desktop, although it is a live connection to the dataset in the service, this dataset is based on the onedrive import mode, so it is not updated in real time, but almost every hour. If you want to refresh immediately after adding data, please refresh the dataset manually.

    BTW, you can use desktop to connect Excel files on onedrive directly instead of importing them in service and then connecting.

    Best Regards,
