When does a dashboard refresh?

I created 2 kinds of reports,

  • one is directly created on PowerBI portal using excel file stored in SharePoint, so no pbix file. (here)
  • 2nd is created by query using Power BI Desktop, can have pbix file. (here)

 

The problem is, I’d like to input the Compass page link within hyperlink, (then APAC stakeholder can easily track the all information). But to input the hyperlink, have to use Powerbi Desktop application, it cannot be done by PowerBi Portal.

That’s why I made 2nd dashboard, but the problem is here, syncing does not work automatically in short time. It should have to wait at least 1 hour or manually click the “refresh” button in PowerBI Desktop application.

    Hi binesh2003,

    In Power BI service, you publish report to web, and enter the link to Power BI desktop table visual like the following screenshot, right?



    As I tested, I modify the Power BI service, when open the link, it displays the new version automatically and quickly. For your requirement, there are large amount of resource data?

    Best Regards,
    Angelia

      Just a quick note that Publish to Web is not secure and does not require any authentication.
