Yearly Schedule Refresh in Power BI Service?
Hi,
I am aware that there is no Yearly Refresh Frequency in the Schedule Refresh and there are only Daily and Weekly. But I wanted to know if there are any new ideas or request out there by the community members?
Can I know why the Yearly option was not part of the Refresh Frequency? (Because this seems to be an ideal need, if I am not wrong)
Thanks!
Hey,
basically from my experience it a rare requirement to refresh a data source just once year. For this reason this might be one of the reasons that there is no yearly refresh option.
But maybe you might consider to create a Flow that refreshes your dataset:
- there is this presentation:
- and there is also a blog around this: https://www.idabergumdata.com/home/microsoft-flow-automation-using-power-bi-api
