Power Bi instant data update
- 4 years ago
Hi, Syndicate_Admin
The data connection mode in your report determines whether the report can be refreshed in real time.
If it is in import mode, then the data will be scheduled to refresh.
If it is a direct query, then the data will be in real time.
What AlexisOlson mentioned above is also an important way to refresh in real time.Check out the differences between the three modes and choose the one that works for you.
DirectQuery, Live Connection or Import Data? Tough Decision!
If you notice that the scheduled refresh is not executing at the time you want, then check out this thread.(2MB) PBI Refresh via Webservice - Extrem slow
Hope this helps.

Real-time streaming is possible in Power BI (though perhaps not common) but you need a data source that supports it. More common is using DirectQuery.
What data sources are you connected to?
