Hi,

Is it possible to change the refresh frequency to be more often than once a day? It seems that's the most frequent data refresh setting possible.

Thanks,

Kosta

Yes, there is. You can set the frequency to more than once a day. 

"...would like the data refresh request to be added to a process queue. You specify minutes in 15-minute intervals."

Hi Kosta,

I'm afraid that we can only configure PowerPivot data refresh schedule at daily level in SharePoint GUI. But, we have  workaround to deal with this issue.

Please see a similar thread about this topic:

Regards,

Thank you Elvis!

Paras - that's not the frequency - it's the time of day that the daily run starts. 

Thanks for pointing this out!

sorry for misinterpreting.

There is also a third party tool to facilitate this workaround capability:
