    Still not solved. Just implemented a auto refresh of the visuals. Not of the dataset in import mode.

    It's October now, just thought I'd add my wishes to this request as well. Auto-Updates for Imported datasets would be fantastic! Please add :)

    If Microsoft do not want us to set a Refresh calendar in the BI desktop, at least an option to auto-refresh when we load the file it be a MUST and seems it does not exist.

    PLEASE ADD THIS FEATURE.
