[Syndicate_Admin]

Hello,

I have built a report and published it to my workspace after that I made a dashboard to include that report to the power app as power bi tile, all went just fine, but the data is not being updated instantly due to the power bi schedule refresh.

is there any way to get the changes instantly,  I have power bi free license under my office 365 business basic

your help is appreciated

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.

direct query vs. import

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.

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?
