Hello,
I have an excel file in Onedrive. I need to modify it in Power BI desktop (create new measures, etc.).
In the end I want to make a dashboard. So I publish the Power Bi desktop file to power BI service or load it in Power Bi service by using get data (-> Onedrive Business -> power bi desktop file).
Is there any way, that if in the original excel file (saved in Onedrive) new rows were added, a dashboard, in power bi service gets updated within the next hour. Without having to manually refresh it or scheduled refreshes (only 8 per day & night) or have to refresh it in Power Bi dektop?
The Context is:
Right now, I have connected my Power Bi desktop file through sharepoint/Onedrive folder with the excel file. Then I have used get data (from Onedrive Business) and uploaded my Power BI desktop file in Power Bi Service.
The weird thing is if I update the Power Bi desktop file then in Power Bi Service everything works perfect, and an automatic refresh is triggered within the next hour. But when I change something in my excel file and don't manually update it in power bi desktop, nothing happens in Power BI Service. Even though the excel file is also in the Onedrive.
If I manually update my dataset in power Bi service, the new data from the excel file is also shown, so the connection is working.
I have enabled the option in Power bi service that says onecloud refresh.
So the only thing, which is not working is the automatic refresh when something is changed in the excel file (also in onecloud, but not directly imported in Power Bi Service, but connected through the Power BI desktop file).
Has anybody any ideas what the problem might be and/or how to solve it?
Or has anybody in general an idea how to automatically update data at least once an hour when the data was modified in Power BI desktop before?
Thank you very much!
