I'm new to PBI. I am a remote user not on any corp network. I have built in PDI Desktop a report that uses a XLS located in my O365 Sharepoint Document library. I use a http address for my data source. I have published that report to my PIB workspace. It works great.
What expectations should I have regarding dataset refreshes when I make changes to that same report in PBI Desktop? I know I can force a refresh using the PBI website, but I never see changes to the report (like when adding a new query table to the report). In fact, manual refreshes say "success" .. no errors.
Since my data source is in the cloud (using web URL to filename) I assumed I didn't need PBI Pro or a gateway. Did I assume correctly?
Of course if I republish the report, changes do appear, so my question there is .. does that alter the URL users will go to to view the data .. on other wrods do I have to keep resending them a new URL and QR Code?
Thanks folks. Lots of refresh questions posted online .. I'm just not seeing a clear answer to mine.
