Date in desktop refreshes but not in PowerBI.com

I'm using the function = DateTime.LocalNow () to create a table in my PBI report to display the date in the report. When I refresh the report in the desktop it updates the date in the report. When I refresh the semantic model in Powerbi.com and open the report the date isn't refreshed. I have to click on the Refresh Visuals buttonU156531_0-1703690883407.png in order to get the date updated in the report. How do I resolve this?

 

Thanks

Hi @U156531 ,

The report visual object relies on cached data for display, so when your data set is refreshed, the report is still only displayed based on the last cached data. You need to do a manual refresh to display the latest visual objects.

@U156531  I believe what you're looking to accomplish can be set up in the Format page section of the Visualizations pane when using Direct Query. Someone asked the same question a while back and Community Supprt answered it here: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Service/Auto-refresh-visual-on-report/m-p/518298#M53474
