Helper IIRefresh published report from power bi desktop
Hi danielcontente ，
If you change the visuals of report in your local Desktop PBI file , the visuals will not be automatically updated to the service .So you can only republish the pbix file to the service again.
But if you change the data in data source (Google Analytics) , you can update the data automatically through data refresh without having to republish it .

Changes made in your local Desktop PBI file will not automatically reflect in the published report. You need to publish. However, if you store your file in OneDrive or SharePoint Online, the changes will sync with the published file every hour. This could be a solution for your case.

Helper IIHi Fowmy
Thanks for getting in touch.
I have tried this solution, meaning the file is stored in One Drive, but still the changes dont sync with the published file, even after refreshed completed.
Important notice that the data source is Google Analytics, and the credentials are entered correctly etc...
Do you have any guess?

Hope you read the article I shared. It updates after an hour, I think you tried in less than one hour. Also, your file has to be in OneDrive for Business.

Hi Fowmy i definitely read it and i waited for even longer than an hour.
The file is in a business drive; but still doesnt sync with the published.
Maybe there is something to do with the gateway?
