Hi Girish Dixit,

Currently, daily is the most frequent interval available for data refresh. There is a post on the PowerPivot team blog that addresses data refresh and can be found here:http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powerpivot/archive/2009/11/20/powerpivot-data-refresh.aspx.

Below are explanation quoted  from PowerPivot product team about date refershment for powerpivot:

Finally, we wouldn’t be honest if we said that the data refresh facility was the right solution for everyone. Clearly it isn’t. It is oriented to you, the end user; not to your IT colleagues. As a scheduler, it lacks many of characteristics that IT systems typically have. For example, there is no real-time or on-demand access to data; or the ability to issue frequent updates, such as hourly or every 5-10 minutes. These capabilities are important in their own way, and some systems demand them, but in the managed self-service world they come with a management overhead and complexity that is just not appropriate for our users.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,
Challen Fu
