Refresh time issue
Do you guys typically add a card that shows the last time the data was refreshed? I had created a seperate table called lastrefreshtime and have a column using this code = DateTime.LocalNow() ...

"Last Refresh Time" is largely meaningless. Power BI will happily "refresh" your stale data over and over again.
Better use a date from your fact table, like "Max Order Create Date" to indicate data freshness.

Just keep DateTime.LocalNow() as-is and add a label next to it saying "(UTC)" to avoid confusion for users.
Example: Last Refreshed: 2025-04-24 18:32 (UTC)
