Live data update

Obaid Qureshi Jan 31, 2018 1:17 PM

My dashboard is not updating when I update data in my excel data source, which is stored on my local drive. Its currently using a live connection option. I feel like its something simple but I just cant get it to work,

Any inputs are appreciated!

Thanks Jim,
I tried refreshing and even closing out and re-opening the dashboard but to no avail.
Could it be something else?
Let me just add, I have double checked the data source and I am connected the correct spreadsheet..
Any help is appreciated
