Setup data alerts Email
- 6 years ago
Hi Anonymous ,
You can set alerts on tiles if you have a Power BI Pro license. You can also set alerts if someone shares a dashboard that's in a Premium capacity. Alerts can only be set on tiles pinned from report visuals, and only on gauges, KPIs, and cards. Alerts can be set on visuals created from streaming datasets that you pin from a report to a dashboard. Alerts can't be set on streaming tiles created directly on the dashboard using Add tile > Custom streaming data.
There are also other limitations you may considerate:
- Alerts aren't supported for card tiles with date/time measures.
- Alerts only work with numeric data types.
- Alerts only work on refreshed data. They don't work on static data.
- Alerts only work on streaming datasets if you build a KPI, card, or gauge report visual and then pin that visual to the dashboard.
For reference:

Yes, you can set alerts on tiles if you have a Power BI Pro license, or if the shared dashboard is in a Premium capacity. See the Microsoft official document Data alerts in the Power BI service .
