Alerts Work Some Days and Not Others
Anonymous Well, I can think of 2 possibilities. 1, your data didn't change. Not sure if that's possible but I don't know what measure you are using. 2, something was down in the Service when the refresh ran.
Thanks for the reply. My measure is a very simple datediff formula (so that I would have something guaranteed to change every day)
Days Left in January = DATEDIFF(TODAY(),DATE(2024,01,31),DAY)
Would the Power BI alert service somehow be down while the Power BI report refreshservice is up? I figured they would be integrated. My report shows a successful refresh on 1/28, but no alert was triggered.
I am testing this alert functionality for a critical notification purpose, and I fear it is not consistent enough to be relied upon.
Anonymous Well, you probably aren't exactly wrong about that. You might try using Power Automate instead of Power BI Alerts.
