Hi joseph_Dev ,

DirectQuery mode establishes a live connection to the data source, allowing Power BI to query the data source directly at the time of visualization or interaction. However, this doesn't mean that visuals in Power BI Service or Power BI Desktop will automatically refresh in real-time as data changes in the source.

Consider using the Automatic Page Refresh feature in Power BI Service. This feature is specifically designed for DirectQuery sources to refresh visuals at a defined interval. Note that this feature is available in Power BI Premium or Premium Per User (PPU) capacities.

Below is the official link will help you:
Automatic page refresh in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Best Regards,

Xianda Tang

Hello thanks for trying to help.

So my first change was I recreated my report, but this time when I 'Get Data' I used Dynamics 365 (Dataverse) as my source not 'Dataverse' because I didn't notice they were separate. I was hoping this would help but it still didn't.

I basically have 3 tables connected directly to my Datasource via DirectQuery: Cashflows, ActiveBacklogs, and ActivePipelines. I have 2 other tables being created using Power Query: ActiveCashflows and Consolidated. Consolidated is the one being used in all of my graphs.

I did set a refresh when the count of cashflows changes, but still nothing happened.
