Hi
I have created a report in Power BI Desktop using the import option to get data (not direct query) from an Azure SQL server. I have a free license only as I want my users to only use free licenses, so I have been careful to use non pro features.
I am now realising however that purely pulling from a Azure server means I need a pro license to be able to schedule a daily refresh. Is this correct? I had thought as long as it only refreshed once daily I wouldn't need a pro license and neither would those users I share the report with, but it seems to also depend on the type of datasource.
I have read through some of the questions already asked on this but I am really confused on what needs free / pro, whether I can have pro license but other users don't need to, and whether I need a gateway or not. Can anyone clarify for me please?
Many thanks!
