    Currently if you only use Analyse in Excel and do not go to the Reports or Dashboards then after 2 months the overnight scheduled refresh is "paused" until you go back and visit a Report / Dashboard.

    Excel combined with Power BI is an extremely effective way to provide various internal reports but currently after 2 months it suddenly "stops". Why can't Power BI continue or at least put a feature on the scheduled refresh so that it does not "pause" after 2 months!
