Auto refresh is not supported in PowerBI Desktop but you can try the third party product Power Update to auto refresh your PBI Desktop file.
Yes power BI Dashboard Tiles won't refresh automatically,
1. Pin your entire report to Dashboard , That will change every 15 mins once or refresh from dashboard and check it.
2. If u want live streaming dashboard . that also we can do in power BI. yes for this u have connect the source by API.
This API option only available in Power BI Service not in Desktop.
let me know if any doubts .
Hi Anonymous,
Yes, you can use Get Data to connect to and import your data from an online service provider like Dynamic CRM. Like most online service providers, Dynamic CRM updates data once a day, usually at night. You can manually refresh your Dynamic CRM dataset, or setup a refresh schedule, but it’s not necessary because Power BI will automatically refresh the dataset and your reports and dashboards will be updated too. For more details about Data refresh in Power BI, you can refer to this article.:smileyhappy:
However, if you want to create real-time dashboards in Power BI, you may need to make use of Microsoft Power BI REST API and Set up your real-time streaming dataset in Power BI. For more details, please refer to the following articles:
