Dataset update frequency

Hello, i've just started using Power BI.

 

I'm building a dashboard with indicators that should update in different time frames, some are daily, others are monthly. The datasources I use are very large and it will make the dashboard perform poorly if all datasets update daily (including the monthly ones).

 

My question is, is it possible to select which datasets update daily and which will update monthly?

 

Thanks

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Each dataset, you can set the frequency.

    So 1 dataset, you set to daily.

    The other datasets, you cant set to monthly.

    Depends on your needs.

     

    This is also what I do on my datasets to avoid poor performance.

    Hope this helps you.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    One dataset can only set one refresh frequency. So, you can create each datasource as one dataset, and set refresh frequency individually like what mussaenda said. Then create a dashboard based on these datasets.
