Power BI Refresh Extension

Automatically refreshes reports in the Power BI Service and creates a theater view for easy viewing in full-screen.
When using Power BI in a shared capacity, there is a restriction set on the amount of times that you can automatically refresh data in a report, with the lowest time being 30 minutes. While you can use dashboards to get real-time data without having to refresh, you will have a restriction in the design features of the visuals. With this extension, you are able to use the extensive design features of the Power BI report builder while still getting real-time data through automatic refreshes.
