    Hi kjmts5200

     

    I see 2 potential issues in your screenshot:

     

    Triggers created from Power BI will run only once per hour to check your condition, and is not triggered by you refreshing the data in the report. E.g, the reflex might refresh at 18:30, 19:30, 20:30 etc, depending on when you created the trigger.

     

    Secondly, your trigger condition is set to "Becomes greater than 0", instead of "Is greater than 0" - is that intentional too?

     

    If I were you, I would try "Is Greater Than 0", and then apply a bit of patience to see if it will start firing every hour.
