Data refresh more often than 15minutes

Is it possible to refresh data more often than every 15 minutes?

I mean... without a refresh button.

I would like an end user to have an up to date report.

I would also like to be able to use a Synoptic Panel visual.

    I would say that if you need it faster than every 15 minutes, use a Direct Query live connection.

    Hi AnetaK,

     

    Which data source do you use in the report? It the data source supports DirectQuery mode ( Data sources supported by DirectQuery ), you can follow Greg_Deckler's suggestion. When you interact with a visualization, queries are sent from Power BI directly to the database. Updated data is then returned and visualizations are updated. 

     

    Regarding to use Synoptic Panel visual, you can follow this article: Visual Awesomeness Unlocked - Using the Synoptic Panel. 

     

    Best Regards,
    Qiuyun Yu

      I want to use Exchange.

       

      I am familiar with this visualisation.

      I've mentioned Synoptic because for example in the PBI streaming mode it is impossible to use it.

       

      EDIT: I don't want people to interact with the report/dashboard. I only want them to see the changing data.

      Let's imagine I have an aeroplane picture and want to show if the seats are booked or not. I want the data to change automatically.
