Automatic Update of pivot table file

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello, I have a pivot table file that takes data from a Datastudio

I use this file to generate data in a PowerBI.

 

The thing is that I need new data every week and every Monday, I must open the file and press the UPDATE button and close the file (so that my PowerBI gets populated with new week data).

Is there a way to have this automatically done, maybe using Flow or something?

 

I'm not very skilled with all those tools but I've created a few Flows and they work (yay!) so that may be a way to do it for me, but maybe I can't that way and there's another way?

 

I'd be glad to learn!! Thank you in advance! 🙂

    Hi @paubea_4,

    Good day,
    That can be done, It depends on how the data is being loaded to your pivot table, If it's through Powerquery 
     Note you can even do that in Excel itself by going to the query properties pane and selecting a refresh interval,
    Alternatively you can utilize Office script (Which works like VBA) to record your refresh process and Create a scheduled cloud flow in powerautomate to run that script based on the intervals you mentioned. 

    Kindly use this Link: Autorefresh .

    Kindly like my post and mark my response as a solution to aid others with similar request.
