I am using CData Connector (ODBC)&nbsp;&nbsp;with PowerBI to access my data (Zoho CRM). Is there a way to configure a scheduled refresh? Is this even something that can help me?

Hi&nbsp; @Abdul

If your use case involves connecting to your ZohoCRM data in PowerBI Desktop and publish to PowerBI Online and eventually configure scheduled refreshes for your reports, you can accomplish this by making use of our PowerBI Connector for ZohoCRM instead of the ODBC connector. The PowerBI Connector for ZohoCRM is specifically designed to work in PowerBI and accommodate this use case. You might want to explore the knowledge base article linked below on how to set this up:

Hi @Abdul ,

In addition, if you indeed inquire connecting to your ZohoCRM data in PowerBI Desktop and publish to PowerBI Online and eventually configure scheduled refreshes for your reports, you can adjust this setting by navigating to&nbsp; **Workspaces** , opening your specific workspace, selecting your&nbsp; **Dataset** , and accessing the&nbsp; **settings** &nbsp;section, where you will find the option to modify the&nbsp; **refresh frequency**.&nbsp;_(The default refresh frequency is configured at a 1-hour&nbsp;interval)_
