    Hi majudd,

     

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

     

    The 1:16 AM timestamp comes from Power BI’s internal rendering process. It appears consistently due to how the report image is generated behind the scenes and is not dynamically tied to your Power BI dataset or refresh schedule.

    You can try the following steps to display the actual refresh time:

    1. Add Actual Refresh Time in the Report:
      Create a measure or card visual in Power BI to show the latest data refresh using:
      "Last Refreshed: " & FORMAT(NOW(), "dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM")
      or
      "Last Refreshed: " & FORMAT(LASTDATE('YourTable'[DateColumn]), "dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM")

    2. Place this card visibly in your report.

    3. When you embed the report into PowerPoint (either in Live or Screenshot mode), this card will display the actual refresh timestamp from your data model.

    For more information, refer to the official Microsoft documentation:
