Hi Smithy32,

So i presume that files stored on Sharepoint Online are 'auto refreshed' without the need for a pro licence? Therefore the scheuled refresh tab is set to off.

Yes, when the file is on OneDrive, or SharePoint Online, Power BI will synchronize any changes to the file with the dataset automatically about every hour. No schedule refresh is needed in this scenario.

As for data on lists, they require either a manual intervation to refresh or a pro licence to configure a scheudle refresh, i.e. the schedule refresh tab set to on?

In this scenario, a manual/schedule is needed. In order to share your dashboard with other free users, you can either manual refresh your dataset, or set a daily schedule refresh for your dataset. Because only data from a dataset that refreshes more frequently than daily is Power BI Pro content.

Hi,

 

Could you please confirm if this still holds true?

 

From what I understand sharing the dashboards with other users requires PRO license ( regardless of scheduled refresh frequency)

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Best,
