Scheduled refresh for multiple reports with same source

Hi Anonymous ,

First things first, data refresh is based on dataset not report. Second, schedule refresh for different datasets has different refresh processes no matter if the datasets have same source. So the question should be whether two datasets will refresh at the same time.

As far as I know, the datasets will be refreshed one by one randomly, and the gateway will work twice, thought they are set in the same schedule refresh time. 

And from the Microsoft Official document https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/refresh-data#setting-a-refresh-schedule , we know:

>>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.

Best Regards,

Jay
