Last Refresh date/time from Power Service in Power BI Desktop report
- 4 years ago
Could you just create a custom column in Power Query and use:
DateTime.LocalNow()#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "LastUpdate", each DateTime.LocalNow())
Then format it as DateTime
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Added Custom",{{"LastUpdate", type datetime}})
This should then show wich time the table was refreshed as it will update the column with current date and time.
M code:let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUUpMSlaK1YlWMkJiGyOxTWDsWAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Dummy = _t, Abc = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Dummy", Int64.Type}, {"Abc", type text}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "LastUpdate", each DateTime.LocalNow()),
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Added Custom",{{"LastUpdate", type datetime}})

This did not work. I try refreshing the dataset in Power BI Service and the time doesn't change.
In the top right corner in service, when you are in the report, you should se this:
Try push the refrehs button I have ringed out in red. This should work, but maybe some cache issues?
