OneDrive and SharePoint auto-refresh

‎05-26-2020 02:28 PM

According to the documentation, the datasets linked to a OneDrive or SharePoint Excel file should autorefresh every hour.

 

This works fine for me when I only use the service and the "connect" to Excel feature.

 

However, I want to do the preparation in a pbix file. In this case, what is the equivalent of the service "connect to Excel"? I tried using various connectors (SharePoint folder, Web), they all establish a proper connection to the file but after I publish to my workspace no refresh happens.

Hi @Christophe ,

 

Yes correctly,but do remember if you update the file locally,you need first to make a refresh in sharepoint or onedrive to make the files updated in the cloud,then the refresh will be automatically executed in Service.

Note: Your dataset that connects to the file will be synchronized soon after the file on OneDrive, or SharePoint Online, is updated. Any visualizations based on the dataset are automatically updated too.

Here is a similar reference you can refer to:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/refresh-csv-file-onedrive

 

 
Best Regards,
Kelly
