Any idea to calculate how much time a refresh process is taking?

Hi folks, the idea is to show in Power Bi Desktop a label showing Start Refresh time, End Refresh time and how much time is taken to complete the process. As an additional goal, I'm trying to compare the difference between refresh using the Power Bi Desktop vs the Power Bi Services.

 

Thank in advance!

 

BTW, I'm refreshing several tables.

I've submitted an idea to improve the logs. https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/35217937-improve-the-trace-log-fi... Not sure if you can access the logs for the service, however you do at least get to see the time for the whole refresh in the data set scheduled refresh history. I have a powerbi the lets you load the logs, but they are not that great hence the idea. https://github.com/stretcharm/MTraceLogDecode
