Alerts option not available

I have created multiple reports with single KPI visuals using direct query from Azure Sql to report on counts of items for the current month.  I've tried multiple scenarios and after pinning the KPIs...

Are Import datasets refreshed?  Wondering if I should change my KPI query to use this instead.

They are if you configure a scheduled refresh. Basically it sounds like the alert threshold would be checked each time the scheduled refresh runs.

Hmmm...changed my KPI to use an Import instead of direct query, published it, added a scheduled refresh, pinned to my dashboard, and still no alerts option in the elipsis menu.

    Sorry, I don't know why that would be. I did the same thing on my test tenant (as we are using the on-prem Report Server at work which does not support alerts) And I get the alerts option from my dashboard tile even before I setup the refresh schedule (the alert would just never get triggered if the data set is not refreshed)

     

    Maybe try asking on the service forum here or raising a support ticket off the Power BI page.
