Helper IScheduled refresh - does it refresh from the actual source files or from PBIX file/Desktop?
I have all of my queries in Desktop fed by import. I want to have the Service refresh daily to pull in the new information. If I use the schedule refresh for the dataset, will it refresh from the source files on Sharepoint or will it only refresh with what is currently in Desktop?
Hey Jtischler ,
assuming you provided the credentials in the dataset configuration after publishing to the workspace, a refresh will read from the data source, meaning from Sharepoint.

Hopefully, this helps to tackle your challenge.

JtischlerTomMartens Great!! I need to figure out how to install gateway etc.. and provide all the credentials. I just wanted to confirm that it would pull from Sharepoint vs Desktop before doing so. Good to know I don't need to update the Desktop daily to keep the Service current! Thank you!
