Schedule refresh excel file

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:

Solved: Schedule refresh from a Sharepoint excel file - Microsoft Power BI Community

Refresh a dataset created from an Excel workbook - cloud - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Refresh a dataset created from an Excel workbook - local - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
