PBIX Create DateTimeStamp

Hi All

 

We have two accounts that we publish our Power BI dashboards to and I need to do an audit of each account to see the create date of each PBIX file that was published to each account. I then need to compare that to my local version to see whether any of the accounts have the latest version or not. I cant seem to find any properties against the Power BI reports that indicate when the file was uploaded or the create date time stamp of the PBIX file.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

    Im not sure about create date but you can see when you last uploaded a file to the webservice:

     

    1) Under datasets click the 3 dots next to the dashboard you're interested in

    2)Click Refresh history (above the gateway connection drop down)

    3)Click on OneDrive

     

    Note: This won't work if you do refreshes directly from onedrive, since that would be intermingled here. It really only works if you're doing uploads from a desktop or seperate server location.

      I did not know about this funtionality and it seems that in some instances the last upload date is not shown. One of my dashboards does not have any history of uploads on the services, so I dont know how it got there then.

       

      Anyway, I still need the create datetimestamp. This is the only way I can compare a dashboard on one of the two service accounts against my local version to see which is the latest pbix file.
