Hi Anonymous ,

 

According to the official document,Power BI maintains a cache for every tile visual on your dashboards and proactively updates the tile caches when data changes. In other words, tile refresh happens automatically following a data refresh. 

 

You can also force a tile refresh by selecting More options (...) in the upper right of a dashboard and selecting Refresh dashboard tiles.

 

In addition, Pin live page enables changes to reports to appear in the dashboard tile when the page is refreshed.

 

Refer to :

Updating dashboard tiles - Online Service - Enterprise DNA Forum

Last Refresh Option for a tile in a Power BI Dashboard - YouTube

Dear Anonymous 

 

Maybe i didnt explain it correctly but i think we are talking about complety different things. 

I read all your references and you are talking about dashboard and refresh in general . 

My issue is related to streaming dataset .

 

Based on the official document :

 

Real-time streaming in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

 

  1. Power BI REST APIs can be used to create and send data to push datasets and to streaming datasets. 
  2. Once a report is created using the push dataset, any of its visuals can be pinned to a dashboard. On that dashboard, visuals update in real-time whenever the data is updated.
  3. The only way to visualize a streaming dataset is to add a tile and use the streaming dataset as a custom streaming data source. The custom streaming tiles that are based on a streaming dataset are optimized for quickly displaying real-time data.

So if i create a dashboard an use either the tiles or pin a visual from the same datasource  everything works fine. 

If i combine on the same dashboard using the same & single datasource (with historic data analysis enable) tiles & visual then only the visual get refreshed.

 

So is there an issue , i am doing something wrong or there are limitations that are not described on the official document??

 

Thank u
