Updating the data

I have a problem that I don't know how to solve.
I work with several tables within the same database, which until now updated the data I imported (from the get data, I used the import way) to the dashboard in the morning, once a day. But now what I need is that to which any record within the table is modified / added (in this case I import the information from a "view" because there is previous manipulation) the data I have in the power bi is updated.
Someone knows how to fix this problem.

Power bi queries can be import mode or direct query.
 
Import mode loads all the data into the dataset. Then you run reports on the dataset.
 
Whereas direct query get records on request for the report.
 
You can also create composite models which does a bit of both.

Do you mean you want an incremental refresh?

So if your tabel has a million rows amd 10 are updates then you just want to refesh the 10 rows and not the million.

Thanks for reaching out for help.

I put in a lot of effort to help you, now please quickly help me by giving kudos.

Remember we are unpaid volunteers and here to coach you with Power BI and DAX skills and techniques, not do the users job for them. So please click the thumbs up and accept as solution button. 

If you give someone a fish then you only give them one meal, but if you teach them how to fish then they can feed themselves and teach others for a lifetime.  I prefer to teach members on this forum techniques rather give full solutions and do their job. You can then adapt the technique for your solution, learn some DAX skills for next time and soon become a Power BI Super User like me. 

One question per ticket please. If you need to extend your request then please raise a new ticket.

You will get a quicker response and each volunteer solver will get the kudos they deserve. Thank you ! 

This is not the solution I am looking for.
What I need is to update the data that has been uploaded to power bi (they may have modified / added / deleted lines of information) to have my dashboard updated in "live"
