Schedule Data Refresh Issues - Power BI desktop
No worries jessicaf31, What is the sourse of your data?, Is an excel file the source of this report?, I need that information to understand why you are recieving this error.
Mykhael No, it is OData feed
Hi jessicaf31,
I found some information about it,
.
Power BI Desktop file with data from an OData feed
In this case, you use Get Data in Power BI Desktop to connect to and import census data from an OData feed. You create several reports in Power BI Desktop, then name the file WACensus and save it on a share in your company. You then publish the file to your Power BI Site. In this case, you can manually refresh the data in the WACensus dataset or setup a refresh schedule. Because the data in the data source comes from an OData feed online, you do not need to install a Power BI Personal Gateway, but you will need to go into the WACensus dataset’s settings and sign in to the OData data source. You can then setup a refresh schedule so Power BI automatically connects to the OData feed and gets updated data. Your reports and dashboards will also be updated automatically. Link here
Limitations in OData feeds exposed by Power BI’s Data Management Gateway
Some users encountered confusion about when to use OData feeds with Power BI’s cloud data refresh, since SQL data sources against the Data Management Gateway (DMG) feature of Power BI allow exposing the data source as an OData feed directly. Link here
Let me know if this is helpful for you, if is not, I recommend to open a ticket to the power BI team and they can assist you. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us
Mykhael thanks again :)
I have done all the first part, but the last row "You can then setup a refresh schedule so Power BI automatically connects to the OData feed and gets updated data. Your reports and dashboards will also be updated automatically", that is my issue :)
