Refresh from sharepoint

Hi there,

 

I have a dataset fetching a table from an excelfile on my sharepoint site. For some reason it is not possible to set up a standard scheduled refresh once per business hour. As far as I understand, it is supposed to automatically refresh hourly

However, it does not refresh hourly. It's now 15:35 and the last refresh was still

What am I missing here?

Hi @Anonymous ,

You need Importing Power BI Desktop files from OneDrive or SharePoint Online into the Power BI service, and keep the OneDrive refresh setting On, expandSync with OneDrive and SharePoint setting, select Automatic updates, and then select Apply. Then upload a new version .pbix file to OneDrive or SharePoint to replace the older version, Power BI service syncs with those changes too, usually within about an hour.
