Schedule refresh excel file

[DanBit]

Wondering if one can do a scheduled refresh for an excel file connection?

In Power BI service, the scheduled refresh option is greyed out right now.

Hi, @DanBit 

If you created your datasets and reports based on a Power BI Desktop file, Excel workbook, or comma separated value (.csv) file on OneDrive or SharePoint Online, Power BI performs another type of refresh, known as OneDrive refresh.

For reference:
