Tracking Changes

Hi

 

Does anyone know if you can track changes when refresh data is run.

 

Can this be logged as a KPI?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Mariusz's suggestion is great. In addition, you can retriyeve the refresh history programmatically by using the Power BI REST API. By using a custom solution, you can monitor the refresh history of multiple datasets in a centralized way. While both can only show the refreshType, startTime, endTime, status etc, the specific changed content won't be show currently.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

You can check the refresh history by going to the dataset settings and clicking on the refresh history as per below.

Also, you can use API to get data
