Hello
I am curreny using Power BI, I use various data sourecs for example from your box standard folder loaction which looks at excel or CSV files, to using several SQL Views to collect data for my reports.
I know Power BI is able to access many formats/sites to get information but I was wonder if there was a way to allow a user to send or present new data to PowerBI which then triggers an update to a report/dahsboard etc. I am desinging a finacial report which relies on our accounts providng a revised a budegt amount, this will be a regular occurance and from more than one user. Is there a means for a person or Power BI to acknwoldge there is new data without me having to refresh that report?
The majority of my data is accessed by looking at a local drive, should I be asking about something simailr to Azure service maybe?
I have no knowledge in this area unforatunately so forgive me if I am not quoting the right techincal terms here.
I am just wanting to make the user imput very streamline and go unnoticed, rather than having load then refresh a folder or file to allow a report to be updated.
Is there a way to automate this process or steps?
Many thanks for your help.

Solved! Go to Solution.
@ccarpent - You can manually initiate a refresh from the Service or setup automatic schedule refreshes.
You could also create a Power Automate maybe coupled with a Power App that kicks off the refresh.
