Power BI Desktop RS refresh page?

david904229 — Tue, 23 Mar 2021 11:07:46 GMT

Hello,

I'm using Power BI Desktop RS that version is 2021/01.

I want to refresh page inside Power BI Desktop RS, but I can't find the option to open it. Why?

My data source is using DirectQuery.

Please tell me how to open it, thank you!!

Unfortunately I do not believe this option is supported on Report Server which is why this option is not shown

I think some people have used browser extensions to trigger a periodic refresh

Yes, I had tried it. But if I have not only one page in report, when I look the second page and it is refreshed, the report will turn back to the first page.....

Hi david904229 ,

If your data source is SQL Database, etc, try to set Data Refresh in Trigger Mode like so:

PowerBI RS: Setting Data Refresh in Trigger Mode | by Davis Zhang | Towards Data Science.

In this way, Data refresh will only be performed when the data has changed. This can ensure that users can see the latest data when using reports.
