gateway not refreshing, no errors recorded
I am new to all things power bi. I created a report with a datasource connected to a local db and excel file. I have published the report to power bi. I installed the power bi gate way. I have linked my published report datasource to the gateway and made connections to the local sql database and excel file. All connections authenticated as expected. I set the refresh schedule to occur every 30 minutes.
the data in my report remains stale. the gateway/datasource says it is refhreshing, but the data remains stale. I have tried changing the datasource in the report from direct query to import, but no change.
What am i missing? Is there another setting hidden in this wonderfully easy to use microsoft product that needs to be activated to allow my reports show current data?

- Hi there
Reports will not auto refresh the data automatically.
This is by design, you either have to click on the Refresh button, or you have to interact with the report to see the changes.
If you want to see updates automatically you have to use Dashboards for this to happen.
