Scheduling

Hi Anonymous ,

There are several scenarios you may considerate:

1.If your excel file is saved on premise, then it needs to use the gateway and configure schedule refresh, see more: :On-premises data gateway , Configure scheduled refresh .

Note that you also need to select Allow user's cloud data sources to refresh through this gateway cluster option Under Gateway Cluster Settings. See: Merge or append on-premises and cloud data sources.

2..If your excel file is saved on line, such as SharePoint online, OneDrive for business and so on, that is to say the dataset only has the cloud data sources , then it needn't to use the gateway. You can manually refresh the dataset by using Refresh now or you can set up a refresh schedule by using Schedule Refresh. Power BI automatically connects to the on line data sources . If the data has changed, Power BI will refresh the dataset and reports in the Power BI service.

Best Regards,

Amy
