I don't have much expertise in Power BI. I started work on it and found it very easy and I've created a report. That report is working fine.
Now, I've requirements to add Refresh button on the report that will refresh the data source and get the latest data from it. I tried to search alots on it but still, I'm not able to find any reasonable solution.
Do we have that kind of functionality available on Power BI?
Thank you for your time!

It sends the visuals to your web browser and spins up some web services that your visuals send queries to.
Assuming you are working on powerbi.com, the end user cannot refresh the data in a report manually (though it is possible to manually refresh a dataset in a workspace if you have permissions to the workspace and have a data gateway set up).
You can either set up a refresh schedule or else build your report using a DirectQuery which will always use the current data.
