Hello,
I have a report with a dataset that is built from a data query to an excel file stored in SharePoint. This excel file has its own power query that collates and modifies data from several other excel files also stored in SharePoint. I want to create a report that refreshes daily so that the visuals update with the data for that day. To this end, I have set the data set to refresh daily.
Will my data set refresh be able to use the excel file's data connections to gather data from directly from the several other excel files? I've read some tutorials that suggest this functionality, but I feel that I am interpreting the literature incorrectly.
If this is not the case, what is the best pathway to set up an automatically refreshing report for my circumstances? Currently, the excel file must be opened and its query must be manually refreshed; then the file must be saved back onto SharePoint.
Thanks.
