I have connected to an Oracle DB using Direct Query which solved my refresh issue. However I am using this dashboard to show real time data updates for the Service Desk. If I manually refresh the data, I will see the updates on the dashboard. What I am looking for is the data to be automatically refreshed on the screen just like it is in the background. Simply put, can I continuously update the visualizations without clicking to refresh the dashboard?
Extract from Power BI helps to explain my predicament.
When you interact with a visualization, queries are sent from Power BI directly to the database. Updated data is then returned and visualizations are updated. Because there is a direct connection between Power BI and the database, there is no need to schedule refresh.
Success would be direct query that updates visualizations every 15 minutes per refresh schedule. I appreciate any help on this one!
