I totally agree with this statement: "This is a significant blocker to the realization of the potential of Power BI - bringing data together from anywhere. A huge number of use cases are prevented without this functionality."

I agree this is very frustrating, it seems like a pretty minor piece of functionality. I also can't get my head around why you need a gateway to access data that exists in the public domain?

This would be hugely useful; would love to use the Microsoft Cognitive Services API's. Works great in desktop, useless without scheduled refresh on app.powerbi.com

My case is recursively grabbing pages from an API. Easy enough to do, but can't refresh in the web. I understand the technical concerns about stack overflows and stuff, but this is still a deal breaker for me.

Very annoying this hasn't any update in 2 years....I think is a must have. Any ETA, PowerBI team?

Superb that's working in Desktop.. nevertheless worthless if scheduled refresh cannot handle his. Please Fix..

Hi All, any updates ?
RE: Make functions refreshable when the data source is a parameter of the function
This looks to me like a product maturity issue, Oracle SAP provide this functionality in scheduling facilities whereas PowerBI only provide it for desktop which is in effect of little value to a production environment. My work around is to create the same functionality in excel and publish to SharePoint which is OK as the dimension changes rarely and the user refreshes the model when needed
