how to refresh data when i am using data feed ?

I am fetching the data in power BI from Dynamics 365 using Odata feed. I just want to know do I need to do some configuration for data refresh and how?

As I can't install data gateway for this. As this link says:

https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-refresh-data/

 

Power BI Desktop file with data from an OData feed

In this case, you use Get Data in Power BI Desktop to connect to and import census data from an OData feed.  You create several reports in Power BI Desktop, then name the file WACensus and save it on a share in your company. You then publish the file to the Power BI service.

In this case, you can manually refresh the data in the WACensus dataset or setup a refresh schedule. Because the data in the data source comes from an OData feed online, you do not need to install a gateway, but you will need to go into the WACensus dataset’s settings and sign in to the OData data source. You can then setup a refresh schedule so Power BI automatically connects to the OData feed and gets updated data. Your reports and dashboards will also be updated automatically.

 

How to do that?

Thanks

Hi @AnandRanga,

The link just says you do not need to install a gateway, which means you can still configure a gateway for it, but it is unnecessary.

 

In your scenario, you can just do as the link says:

1. Publish your pbix file to Power BI service.

2. Go to Power BI service -> Settings -> Datasets, select your dataset.

3. Sign in to Dynamics 365 by editing the Data Source Credentials.

4. Then you should be able to setup a refresh schedule for your dataset.
