You want to put the timestamp of what in the report? Of the last refresh date, the last date in your dataset or the current time?

If it is a direct query / live connection maybe you can just create a new Measure = NOW()

if you e.g. set up automatic page refresh this will always update

Hi @ChahindaAlyy ,

Please note, When you create a report with Live Connection type, there is no data refresh , because when you open this type report, Power BI will get the latested data from data source to visualize.

If you want to show the timestamp of the last time you got the latest data, you could create a measure like this:

Time Stamp=NOW()

then add a card visual with this measure.
