Schedule Refresh with the machine switched off

I am trying to schedule the refresh of a dataset when the machine is switched off. All of my data sources are from the cloud so I am not using any Gateway connection.

 

I tried switching off my laptop during the scheduled refresh time and turned it on again. The report refreshed only after the laptop was switched on. What am I doing wrong here? Please assist. Thanks!

  • It honestly seems like a coincidence that you see the updated data when you turn it back on. 

    Leave it running and schedule some refreshes to occur over-night, then @ me tomorrow to see if this is still occuring.

     

    Also, send a screenshot with the last refresh date as shown below:

      Hi,

       

      I am using Salesforce objects and multiple excel sheets from SharePoint folders.

       

      Thanks!

        Make sure when you're in the datasource settings, that your credentials are correct.

        Edit the credentials if they are incorrect, as shown below:
