Schedule Refresh from Visual Studio Online not working

I have a dataset from Visual Studio Online.

It works fine if I do refresh Now, however scheduled refreshes never run. 

 

Refresh history doesn't even have an attempted refresh. It only shows my "on demand" runs, which are succesful.

 

As an example, I have this dataset which shows next scheduled refresh:

Next refresh : Thu Aug 13 2015 03:59:00 GMT+1000 (AUS Eastern Standard Time)

 

Now is 10am, Aug 13. 

 

This is only one example, I have others from past few days that were several days old as well.

 

Please advise.

Thanks

Hello Everyone, I am also facing the same issue where I am connecting with VSO and schedule refresh is not working. Is there any solution for this problem? I am sure, this is not an expected functionality.

Dumb question, but is it scheduled to refresh? Ellipses, Schedule Refresh, expand Schedule Refresh and make sure the slider bar is set to Yes

Oh, you don't have Power BI Pro. You can't schedule daily refreshes without Power BI Pro. See the little yellow button, "Try free for 60 days"

Thanks for the reply. Interestingly the description says Pro is required for "hourly refresh", not daily refresh. Dev team should change that note to clarify.

 

thanks again

Hi again,

 

I'm with Pro subscription (Trial), and this has not worked over the last couple of days. Same issue as before.

 

One thing I find suspicious is that my Power BI id is a work account, and my VSO is a personal account. Don't think it has anythign to do with it, since manual refresh works.

 

Any ideas how to proceed? I don't even receive a notification of scheduled refresh failed, and there is nothing on the history as well.

 

Please advise/ assist.

Thanks

Jonny
