to be updated automatically every morning with

Using Power Automate
Scenario : We have a SharePoint list where new data is
regularly added, and we want to refresh our Power BI
report whenever a new item is added to the list.

Example: 🚀
Using Power Automate triggers, whenever a new item is
added to the SharePoint list, and include an action to
refresh the dataset for that report.

DirectQuery or Live Connection
Scenario : We have a Power BI report connected to a live
SQL Server database, and we want the report to always
reflect the latest data from the database.

Example: 🚀
Power BI automatically queries the database in real-time
whenever a user interacts with the report, so there is no
need for manual or scheduled refreshes.

Refresh APIs & PowerShell
Scenario : We have a custom application it creates new
data files every hour, and we want to programmatically
trigger a refresh of your Power BI report whenever a
new file is generated.

Example: 🚀
Use the Power BI REST API or PowerShell cmdlets to
create a script that monitors the folder where the files are
generated. For every new file then scrpit can update.
