Schedule refresh

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone

I have two questions

1. Is it possible to refresh automatically if i put Schedule refresh in PBI service when computer is off?

2. Refreshing in PBI Desktop took long time like 1.5 hour. Then when i refresh in PBI service it will take also long like 1.5 h?

Thank you always.

Hi , @Anonymous 

My answer as below :

1.It possible to refresh automatically in PBI service when computer is off（make sure  that the gateway is not on this computer）.

On-premises data (data that isn't in the cloud)  always need  gateway to provide quick and secure data transfer .

So when you configure the schedule  refresh ，you  need to  make sure the computer installed gateway is online（Gateway service is enabled  normally） and the data source is added in "manage gateways".

You  can refer to related articles:

2.Of coures. The refresh time may even be longer  due to network, region and other factors .
