Schedule refresh not updating the data in Browser - Jan 2021
Hi ozge ,
One workaround:
How about setting auto browser refresh every 5 minutes in your scenario? Then you can get the latest data after scheduled refresh.

Microsoft EmployeeDid this behavior work prior to Jan 2021 release?
I believe this has always been the refresh behavior in PBIRS that a browser refresh is required to load the newly created (after 5 minute refresh runs) model.
Memorable MemberHi,
I have same issue (but with different reason why is it issue).
When Model is refreshing, in integrated SSAS is created new version of DB with model (side-by-side), and all users are using old version of model.
When refresh is finished, there no hard switch over, current users (which not reopened report) still uses old version of model, new users (which reopened report) are connected to new version of model. Both versions are kept in SSAS.
Current users use old model until reload of report in browser, it means until press F5, or until go back to RS portal, and reopen report. Additionally, refresh icon in PBI report UI (used for refresh direct query reports) is not working for this scenario (after press Refresh button, are data reloaded from old version of model!)
Old version of model is kept in SSAS until all users are disconnected from old version.
I understand why is not used hard switch over. But I think, there missing some configurable short timeout period, which forces switch user to latest version of model after some time.
It is issue also from another point of view, multiple version of model in SSAS, consume much more memory.
This issue is there at least from May 2020 Release. Prior this version I'm not sure, but I do not remember issues of this type.
