Refresh Dataset in Mobile
Hi All,
I'm trying to create a Sales Forecast report that my CEO can access through the PowerBI IOS app. The problem is that he wants to be able to refresh the dashboard at will. Right now I see that I can create a report, which I also see I can pull down to refresh. The problem is that it doesn't appear to actually refresh the dataset. To do that, I have to log in on my computer, go to the dataset, right-click, click "Refresh Now" and then the report data is updated.
Is this as good as it is going to get for me? I know I can schedule the refresh each hour, but that is not good enough for my usecase.
thanks!

Hi
Since I was getting this question a lot, I've just created a video which shows how to refresh a dateset from your mobile. Please watch the video and if you like it, it would be nice if you could subscribe to the channel:
Hi,
I watch your video and create the flow. However, it doesnt work. When I checked the flow history, it remarked as still running. See pic below
Hey afiqhaziq ,
Power BI Mobile apps now support dataset refresh natively. You no longer need to build flow in order to rfresh a dataset from the app. Check this blog post with all the details: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/datasets-are-now-in-power-bi-mobile-apps-refresh-your-datasets-when-youre-on-the-go/
Thanks Maya
