Getting the refresh timing of all reports in all workspace

I have a requirement here to create a Power BI Report which should show all reports that I have access across all workspaces and the latest time it got refreshed.

 

The output should look something like below.

Has Anyone done something like this in Power BI? Would be really great if someone guide me on this. Thanks in advance

Hi,

 

If you have a gateway I recommend Power BI REST API Custom Connector:

https://github.com/migueesc123/PowerBIRESTAPI

If you dont have a gateway (this is needed to refresh custom connectors in the service), then you should look at using rest api with power automate or adf. I have set up soulition with power automate and excel. I use this rest api:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/admin/get-refreshables-for-capacity

Then I store the result in a excel file on sharepoint and use this as source in power bi.

Hi, 

 

Can you please help me with this  I also need to implement same.

 

Thanks 

Hi @Kusuma,

 

I have just finished developing a brand new model, where I combine the Activity Events API with LogAnalytics.

 

This allows me to build as much history as I want, with all the details about visits per report and which pages in the report have been visited.

Additionally, I have complete oversight of who has access to which dataset and/or report.

 

I have used Fabric Pipelines and Fabric Lakehouse/Warehouse for the entire solution, so it works extremely well.

 

I've set up hourly refreshes, so I am always fully updated on who is using what.

@imagautham Just my suggestion, may be it can work for you.

 

First add latest refresh time card in each report by using the following method - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/report/powerbi/add-last-refresh-time?view=azure-devop...

 

 

Then Create a dashboard with all the cards.
