Automatically adding date for last refresh of data
Hi Anonymous,
You can directly use the last refresh time in tile of dashboard. Clicking the ... on the top right hand corner of the tile, then select Tile details and select “Display last refresh time” as shown in the following screenshots. The refresh time will now show at the top of the tile.
Another method is to generate Last Refreshed Date with Power Query, then create the Last Refreshed Measure and add it to dashboard. For more details, please review the following blog:

Anonymous i tried the workaround using the blog in the second method ...its working but,..i have question..
basically its just current datetime that is used in that method. ,In desktop when we refresh, it refreshes the data,,,soo that field will just show the curent datetime..But when publish it to service,,..and if we hit refresh on th report ribbon(not dataset refresh) it is showing last dataset refresh time and not the currentdatatime,,,basically this is what we want to show...but it is surprising me that how its tied to dataset refresh time and not the currentdateime..Any idea?
Anonymous and if we want to show current datetime in pbi service, what do we use?...since using now() is only showing the dataset last refresh date.....
