This is a great feature ever. You guys did a good job. I've been waiting for this for a long time and I've been doing workaround on it. My only comment and personal opinion are that it is unacceptable to do not have this feature for azure analysis services live connection. Why spend so much money in a database as azure analysis services if, in the end, the users can not have a report running with live data? We still need to press F5 to get new data even though the dataset is up to date. We still not have a proper end to end solution for live data.

      I am having trouble getting the automatic page refresh. Can someone please tell me if I am doing something wrong here?
      I have the preview feature on however, it does not show up under the formatting icon. We do have premium.

        Of course syasmin25 ,

         

        A couple of questions first:

         

        1. Are you setting it up in Desktop or the service?

        2. Are you connecting to a DirectQuery source? It will only be available if you do so

         

        Let us know and we'll get back to you ASAP

      Thanks, Ranbeer for your reply. Unfortunately, this is a type of workaround that I mentioned but it is not possible in my company due to restricting security policy in the local machines. I'm working in the huge chemical industry the governance will not accept this as a solution. But I'm still open for another option 🙂
