A Desktop version that is updated automatically every few hours

Hello everyone,
Which BI desktop version should I purchase that will be automatically updated my report every few hours (two to three hours) and of course how to do it 🙂
Thank you very much
Omer

Hi, @OmerKat 

 

Desktop is available for free download. The latest installation URL is here.

https://powerbi.microsoft.com/desktop/ 

 

About your automatic report update, you need to confirm whether your report is importing data or querying it directly. You can check the following link first to understand the difference.
