Schedule refrest for Reports (not datasets)
Hi MarcoWS ,
You should know that:
Reports are created based on datasets in power bi service, and it will refresh automatically after its corresponding dataset refresh has been completed. The refresh we usually refer to refers to refreshing the data set rather than refreshing the report, if we want to refresh report, we can use the 'Refresh' button in the report page.
Since you have configured scheduled refresh for this dataset, you can check the refresh history to confirm whether the scheduled refresh has completed successfully.
Note also that the configured refresh time might not be the exact time when Power BI starts the next scheduled process. Power BI starts scheduled refreshes on a best effort basis. The target is to initiate the refresh within 15 minutes of the scheduled time slot, but a delay of up to one hour can occur if the service can't allocate the required resources sooner.

Thank you. I read this before. However, it doesn't update the report automatically - only when I update the dataset on-demand.
I run the dataset as an import (where do I set it up as a direct qurey?). I learned that with Power BI server you can schedule Report updates but I this must be also possible with Power BI service.
