    I figured out the issue. In short, the problem was that I was using filters in my report within PBI Desktop.  I was pulling in Jan-Dec but then I would filter out the months I didn't want and then publish to the PBI Service.  The repors within the service would update but associated tiles on the dashboard would not.  I realized that PBI considered that a change to the design of the report because the "filters" had changed.  The filter is the real culprit.  To solve the problem I am making changes to my data model so that filters are not used which will solve the problem.
