During this explanation, Managers will not expect your theoretical knowledge. They always want to see the practical understanding and application.

Tell them you worked with these kind of refreshing scenarios in your project.

  1. Manual Refresh:
    Refresh data in Power BI Desktop or Service with a click.๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ”„

2. Scheduled Refresh:
Automatically refresh data at specified intervals in Power BI Service.โฐ๐Ÿ’ผ

3. Refresh Now (Power BI Service):
Trigger an immediate refresh of data in Power BI Service. ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ”

4. Power Automate:
Automate data refresh based on events or conditions using Power Automate.๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ’ก

5. Direct Query or Live Connection:
Real-time data querying without manual refresh in Power BI.โšก๐Ÿ”Œ

6. Refresh APIs and PowerShell:
Programmatically refresh data using Power BI REST APIs or PowerShell scripts.๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ“Š

I have explained each one below slides with proper story as examples.

Choose the right approach based on the scenario and impress in your interview.
