Your company assigns only Power BI Pro licenses and stores all content in a workspace that runs in shared capacity. You publish an import-mode semantic model that must refresh every 30 minutes between 08:00 and 18:00 local time. When configuring scheduled refresh in the Power BI service, you find that you can add only eight refresh times. To meet the business requirement, which action should you perform first?
Move the workspace to a Power BI Premium capacity.
Create a dataflow to stage the data and reference the dataflow from the semantic model.
Change the semantic model's storage mode to DirectQuery.
Enable incremental refresh for the semantic model.
Shared capacity restricts each semantic model to eight scheduled refreshes per day. A 30-minute interval between 08:00 and 18:00 requires 20 refreshes. Moving the workspace to a Power BI Premium capacity (or Premium Per User) increases the limit to 48 refreshes per day, enabling you to schedule the needed frequency. Incremental refresh reduces data volume but does not raise the refresh-per-day limit. DirectQuery eliminates scheduled refresh entirely but would change the report's query pattern, which isn't required here. Using a dataflow still leaves the dataset subject to the same refresh quota. Therefore, upgrading the workspace to Premium capacity is the necessary first step.
