Hi, our software supplier is going to send us via FTP a list of 20 CSV files with our data. The software supplier will send us an updated copy of each of the 20 files each day to our FTP folder. I'm going to set up Power BI to create visualizations using the daily data dump. The 20 files will have the same file names every day and overwrite the previous days copies.

What's the best way for me to refresh my visualizations every day? Just go into Power BI and manually click Refresh? Or is there a way Power BI can be refreshed automatically?

Thanks, Ian
