On PowerBi Desktop we can get data using Python Scripts, but after published we can't schedule a refresh data for this connection. The PowerBI returns:
"Query contains unknown funtion name: Python.Execute."
It would be better if all features on desktop would work on web too.

RE: Python on Scheduled Refresh

Adding python to PowerBI without allowing it to run on the web update defeats the purpose; if I have to run it manually, I'd just use a Jupyter Notebook... I use PowerBI to allow for daily updates and to share with my team in real-time.

Please allow python scripts to run on the web app as you have done with R.

Also, there needs to be a way to upload models made in sklearn [or other packages] to run on this, so that we can train our models offline and just run them on the updates.

RE: Python on Scheduled Refresh

Ditto to the other comments. If python features can't be used in the webservice, it's much more limited in its usefulness.

RE: Python on Scheduled Refresh

Yes! This is very much needed if the python feature will be of use to our company.

RE: Python on Scheduled Refresh

Yea I was assuming this would be possible in the Service at the same time as the Desktop.
