redshift refresh

[chiragm]

When will the Schedule Refresh feature be enabled for Redshift data source on PowerBI service?

The release in August, 2016 mentioned that this feature will be released in a couple of months (as per the link below )but it has not been released yet.

Hi @chiragm,

You can take a look at below link which about scheduled refresh from Amazon redshift:

This solution is out of date. The Redshift connector is native to powerbi without explicit ODBC or OData. See

This last article, dated Aug 1 2016, said the Redshift connector doesn't yet work for "Power BI Gateway or PowerBI.com for refresh scenarios, which will come in the next couple of months."

These threads have essentially the same issue:

It's been six months since "a couple of months" was promised. Any news? This is a big issue for my application, where I need to do scheduled refreshing in the PBI service, just like any other database.
