Hi,
I have set up few reports on Power BI Desktop in Direct Query mode.
When it will be published it will be made real time.
However, when I open the report say after few minutes the charts do not show up, I have to click the REFRESH button on Power BI Desktop tool bar then the charts show up, otherwise it shows an 'x' sign. When the report will be published will the users too have to REFRESH the report?
Thanks,
Amitabh
