Thanks Syk & some_bih  for your input, they are great👍

Because my data is funneled through a DataFlow in the service, i'd like to show the last DataFlow Refresh date in my report, so if the dataflow fails i'd show in the report that it hasn't been refreshed/updated as scheduled. 

Do you know any great ways to do that?

      Hi some_bih 

      Thanks for the reference. I tried creating a table in the dataflow as such:

      #table(type table [#"Dataflow last refresh"=datetime], {{DateTime.LocalNow()}})
      But the refresh time that it returns is not up to date. I created it at 12:25;

      and i've refreshed the table several times and the time doesn't change. The DataFlow says it was refreshed at 13:37 after refreshing:

       

      , shouldn't the value in the table/column represent the same value as the dataflow refresh time?
      You have any idea why?
