Scheduled refresh for composite model

Hello, 

 

Is it possible to do a scheduled refresh on a composite model?

I get the following error when I'm trying to schedule a refresh:

However there are no data sources listed below the error...

Where are your Excel files located (i.e. MS Teams, SharePoint, local folder)?

The Excel files are located on SharePoint
