Power Automate and Direct Query in Power BI Desktop


Can I use Power Automate for Direct Query data refresh in Power BI?

Will it be faster than the Enterprise Gateway Direct Query Connection?


Solution

  • For direct query you don't need to have any power automate flow to refresh the data, if your dataset is connected to the gateway then it will automatically get the latest data whenever the user interact with the report.

    Data refresh required if you have import mode

    FYI, even if you use power automate the refresh the data it happens via gateway itself, so pls go ahead with the regular process.
