Hi,
I have a few reports connected to an Azure Analysis Services (server) tabular model.
These reports are 'live connection', so I am wondering why datasets are being uploaded into the workspace with scheduled refreshes against them.
e.g.,
I thought live connection would be live and not require refreshes?
Thanks

Hi @Morkil ,
Live connection datasets do not require data refreshes, as they always query the latest data from the source.However, there are still some scenarios where a refresh is required. For example, if the data source schema changes, or if there are changes to the security settings that affect the user's ability to access the data.
