Salesforce Dataset On demand refresh functionality for users in PowerBi App

I have come across Sharepoint to PowerBi Microsoft Flow : Refresh your Power BI dataset using Microsoft Flow | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI.  Do we have any similar functionality or an alternative solution which allows user to do ad-hoc refresh of  Salesforce Dataset in PowerBi app? Intention is to avoid dependancy on Pro license users and give flexibility to Report consumers to refresh information ahead of critical customer/management meetings

 

Any Support here highly appreciated

Hi @AVS218 

 

If your dataset is connected via a Gateway, you could then use Flow to refresh the dataset, which in turn would go via the Gateway and refresh the data.

 

Just be aware if you are using Power BI Pro you only get 8 refreshes a day.





Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!
