Hi Anonymous ,

 

According to your description, when the refresh process is configured in Power Automate, you can go ahead and configure a button that can be used to manually start the refresh function.

For more details, you can refer to below blog:

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.

    Hi Henry - 

     

    This is the exact process which I followed.  This is unfortunately not working.  The flow runs successfully, but the flow is missing a step, which I am not sure exists......

     

    The flow described in the link you posted is updating the dataset ONLY - not the visual.  Therefore, I am also not receiving any error messages - the flow runs successfully.  Need to find a way to update the visual in the report.....

     

    Its frustrating because when you click the refresh button in PBI desktop, everything updates immediately everytime.....
