    Hyldal Tiles in dashboard are the snapshot of your data. Say for example first time you've published report from power bi desktop to service and then pinned tile from that report that shows total sales for month of august to dashboard then if total sales for month of august changes then tile would have updated number but if in the report you filter out some data or change month from august to september in slicer to then tile in dashboard would still continue to show august total sales amount.

    Hi Hyldal,

     

    In Power BI Service, if original visualization used to create the tile changes, the tile doesn't change. In your scenario, since you republished the report, the change of report will not reflect to the dashboard tile. Please see: Dashboard tiles in Power BI.

     

    To work around the issue, I would suggest you create a report with required visuals in one report page, and publish the report to service. Then pin an entire report page via "Pin a live page" feature to a dashboard. Because pin live page enables changes to reports to appear in the dashboard tile when the page is refreshed. For more information, please refer to this article: Pin an entire report page, as a live tile, to a Power BI dashboard.

     

    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

     

    Best Regards,
