How do I know if flow is working? Supposed to refresh power BI whenever an excel file in SharePoint is updated

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by lennyt99

I have a power BI report which the data source is coming from a folder in SharePoint and it's an excel file which multiple people contribute to. I want my Power BI report refreshed automatically every time someone makes a change in the excel file without me having to refresh power bi every time manually.

Any suggestions? 

 

Also, how do I know if it works to test? There have been updates in the file, however Power BI hasn't reflected them with the above screenshots for my flow...


Please help!!

 

Thank you!!!

    Don't know if this will work, but I suggest replacing your trigger with a SharePoint When an item or file is modified trigger.

    Please let me know if that works.
