Hi,
we are building a power BI reprot linking to a dataset using DirectQuery. Dataset content (or direct query result) is subject to change as user updates data. We like to have a button; once it's clicked, it would force a refresh on the dataset and thus on the report. finally it would be reflected in the iframe. it's supposed to replace manual click of 'refresh now' command in the Power BI service with a programmatic call.
Is it available?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Based on my research, there is no such a option for us to achieve this requirement for DirectQuery model. You can do it in import mode easily. Do not set schedule for this dataset. And click refresh now button when you need to refresh your report.

btw, does Power BI team has thought of exposing the refresh via API? why not or when do you see it coming?
Ok, thank you! import api could be a solution but not a perfect one. because it calls for update or generation on the local pbix file as well.
let me try datatable operation.
