Setting up an email alert in powerbi

Hi all, Just need some feedback on whether this would work.

I'm gathering data from Google BigQuery for my dashboards.

I've built a dashboard showing me when those datatables update in BigQuery. So far, so good.

What I also want to do is send an alert if those data tables fail to refresh. e.g. if refresh date for the data table is today()-2.

Would it be possible to use the data alert function in dashboards to do this?
ie. that described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/service-set-data-alerts 

Thanks!

Hi, @JonSwed 

 

You may check 'Send refresh fail notifications to the dataset owner' in the corresponding dataset settings to see if it helps.

@JonSwed , You can create a date type column like

  Is Today = if('Date'[Date]=TODAY()-2,"Last day",[Date]&"")

 

and you can select last day on page and schedule that on filter
