Scheduled refresh at exact time

Hi,

 

I have a report that needs to be refreshed at exactly a given time. Scheduled refresh is on a best effort basis with a target of refreshing within 15 minutes of the scheduled time slot. 

Does anyone have a way to get around this and get this potential time further down to within 5 minutes or something?

 

Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

I have some good news in that you can do this with Power Automate. With Power Automate you can set the time you want the flow to run and when it runs it will then refresh the dataset.
