Automatic Page Refresh not working as expected

I have a report that is using Direct-Query data mode.  The option for Page refresh is available.  I can select what cycle I want the page to refresh and it works while I have the report open in Desktop.  After I upload it to the Report Server, it doesn't autorefresh the page.

Is there something I'm missing to make this work?

      Then why include it in the Report Server version of desktop?  If it isn't supposed to work, don't include it.

        Hi pabeader ,

         

        Sorry to have caused you misunderstanding. But there is no conflict between Power BI Desktop (optimized for Power BI Report Server) supporting automatic page refresh and Power BI Report Server not supporting it.

         

        For using Automatic Page Refresh in Power BI Report Server, there is a workaround - Setting Data Refresh in Trigger Mode. When the data source referenced by the report has changed (added, changed, or deleted), then the trigger condition is activated to allow the PBI report to refresh the data immediately and keep the PBI report data up to date. 

         

         

         

        Best Regards,

        Icey

  • Hi,

     

    I am having the same issue, it odd its available in the PBIRS Desktop client but not working when published, not sure if that is by design or simply not fully implemented yet ðŸ˜ª

    Hi pabeader , I have just been looking into this recently.

     

    I found that it only works for me when I pin the visual or entire report to a 'Dashboard'
