RE: Auto refresh data in Power BI desktop

Come on ... why has this not been implemented yet? It would save me loads of time if my data could be refreshed ready for me coming into work.

Agree. All documentation points to scheduling a refresh in the web version however, my data is linked to a Sharepoint site and from what I am seeing in the web version, the updates do not reflect until I refresh and publish via the desktop application.

RE: Auto refresh data in Power BI desktop

I will happily code this for you, i would take a very short amount of time, but would help massively! My refresh takes about 3.5h just to update with the latest data (because you cant just add that it seems to the table), would be great if this could be done before i need to look at my data!
