    Yes this should really be part of the standard solution!! A schedule once per day is tbh useless.

    Is there any way to do this with a Windows PowerShell script? Like a Python selenium for your desktop?

    PowerBI doesn't have VBA like Excel. I would normally write, on open, refresh All.

    This function is very important if PBI should be used professionally.
