User-Oriented Design in Power BI

Design in Power BI

I am using Import rather than DirectQuery to bring in data sources

I want to define custom schedules based on complex business rules

I want to see my data in real time, with no more than a 50 millisecond delay

I only need to perform scheduled refreshes once per hour and do not need to use change detection

My data refreshes once per minute and I want to see results at that time
