Hi Dale,

 

I've created the real-time streaming dataset in Power BI service, but I can't see it when connecting to the Power BI datasets in Power BI desktop.  Basically, I want to take the real-time streaming Power BI dataset and visualize it in on a map.  In creating a tile in Power BI service, I don't see an option to visualize it on a map.  

 

Any way for doing this?

So it seems like if you create a real-time streaming dataset, it only allows you to use the Power BI streaming data tile to connect to it and the visualization does not include a map.  

 

Therefore, I saved the data into a SQL table using Flow and the data gets updated on the map on the Power BI dashboard but only when the dashboard is reloaded in the browser.  When I click the button on the PowerApp (which is a tile in Power BI), the data does not get updated on the map.  Is there a way that I can automatically update the data on the map without having to reload the entire dashboard page?

 

Thanks.

    So I'm following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YIBHfgasok on live data streaming in Power BI, and on this slide (attached as a screenshot), it says that when the data comes into Azure SQL DB and you have DirectQuery, the Power BI dashboard tile will be refreshsed.  I have a Flow that takes my data and inserts rows into a table in an Azure SQL DB and I also use DirectQuery to that table, but it doesn't refresh the Power BI dashboard tile.

     

    Any reason why?
