    Hi Anonymous

     

    Yes thats exactly my point if the Dataset is created in App Service then it has OneDrive Refresh Option at Settings

    If the Dataset is created in PowerBI Desktop and published then only Scheduled Refresh is available.

     

    Is this meant to be? Why is it so after all my DataSource is Onedrive/Sharepoint Online even then they are treated seperately.

    I dont think so there is a solution to this, this is the way it is designed. i had posted this question to check if my understanding is correct.

HI sss0379,

 

Actually, Onedrive refresh not works for report which use sharepoint online folder/list connector.

For this scenario, please use web/excel connector with file url to instead.

 

Reference link:

Use OneDrive for Business links in Power BI Desktop

Hi Anonymous

 

I have connected using the steps mentioned in the link you shared but PBIX desktop created auto-refresh doesnt work, seems like this is the way it is.
