Hi,
I didn't find any answer to this (simple question):
Is there a longer delay before data is transferree to the raport/visuals without pressing "Refresh" in PBI Desktop?
And yes, I know PBI Service data refresh etc., but just thought that is it necessary to press refresh every time when data changes in source.
So the question is:
Do Power BI Desktop refresh the data itself, or should I do it manually time after time?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello @Anonymous ,
Power bi won't refresh the data if you didn't refresh it or if there wasn't a scheduled refresh or if it wasn't a direct query mode.
