    Then why include it in the Report Server version of desktop?  If it isn't supposed to work, don't include it.

      Hi pabeader ,

       

      Sorry to have caused you misunderstanding. But there is no conflict between Power BI Desktop (optimized for Power BI Report Server) supporting automatic page refresh and Power BI Report Server not supporting it.

       

      For using Automatic Page Refresh in Power BI Report Server, there is a workaround - Setting Data Refresh in Trigger Mode. When the data source referenced by the report has changed (added, changed, or deleted), then the trigger condition is activated to allow the PBI report to refresh the data immediately and keep the PBI report data up to date. 

       

       

       

      Best Regards,

      Icey

        So, if I want to setup a Kiosk display, using the SQL trigger method will refresh the data.  Does it also refresh the report display?
