Users can publish Power BI reports and dashboards in Power BI Server or Power BI Service. However, the Power BI reports and dashboards won’t refresh unless users apply a refresh, either based on a refresh schedule or on-demand. Scheduled Refreshes are the scheduling tasks set for data extract refresh so that they get refreshed automatically while publishing a report and dashboard with data extract. This also removes the burden of republishing the reports and dashboards every time the concerned data gets updated.

  1. Select Publish,and then sign in to your Power BI Service account (if you are not signed in).
