Hi:
I am new to Power BI and would like to set the time intervals to refresh the visuals. When I try to login to the Admin, I am getting the following (below), can you please let me know that I need a primeum license for capacity metrics in order to set the refresh intervals for the visuals. Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Taki103 ,
It's not necessary, but it will give you better effects with the various types of refreshes.
Also, you mentioned visual refresh, it does not run independently. Refresh in Power BI is complementary. For example for import storage type datasets, you can create scheduled refreshes for it (with customizable timing) and update its report or dashboard content after success. For details you can refer to:Data refresh in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
Hope it helps!
