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:
