In Power BI, refreshing your data ensures that the reports and dashboards show the most up-to-date information from the connected data sources. Power BI provides several refresh options, depending on the data connection type and where the data is stored. Here are the key refresh options available:

1. Manual Refresh
  • You can manually trigger a data refresh from Power BI Desktop or Power BI Service.
  • In Power BI Desktop, you simply click the "Refresh" button to reload the data from the source.
  • In Power BI Service, you can manually refresh the dataset from the web interface by selecting "Refresh Now."
2. Scheduled Refresh
  • Power BI Service allows you to set up a scheduled refresh that runs automatically at specified intervals.
  • This is typically used for datasets that are imported into Power BI (not for DirectQuery or Live Connection data models).
  • You can define the frequency (e.g., daily or weekly) and the time for the refresh to occur.
  • The maximum number of scheduled refreshes depends on your Power BI license:
    • Power BI Pro: Up to 8 refreshes per day.
    • Power BI Premium: Up to 48 refreshes per day.
