Track Refresh Time in Power BI Desktop

Is there a way to track refresh time/periods in Power BI Desktop? 
Just like it will tell me how long a refresh being perfom in a PBI Desktop level. 

Yeah I know I can probably do my own timestamp and all. Not quite sure if there is alternative. 
Any information will be great. TIA

  • Hi v_mark ,

     

    Based on my understanding, I think you can only get the time interval of the latest refresh in Desktop.

     

    First create the query = DateTime.LocalNow() at the beginning and at the end respectively.

     

     

    Then cancel the parallel refresh of the model.

     

     

    For more information, please refer to: How to track refresh time in Power BI Desktop 

     

     

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.
