    Not possible in both cases as data from reports will always take the last version of the dataset that has been refreshed.

    What you can do is to add a little note in the report that specifies the times in which the report is being refreshed and the average time it takes to complete, that will give transparency to users. 

    Otherwise, see if you can optimize the performance of your queries. I'm not sure how much time you can reduce though if you are dealing with a massive dataset.
