Auto refresh for dashboard and report

Hi,

 

After i refresh dataset or using refresh scheduler, can we set reports and dashboard auto refreshed too?

usually i need to manually refresh on the report. Even dashboard not updated when report is updated, need take some times until dashboard refreshed too.

thanks

    If you open the reports or dashboard and updated the datasets(scheduled refresh or manual refresh),

    • You will not see the changes in the report. You have to click refresh now button or reload the tab to view the latest data.
    • You will see the changes immediately in the dashboard tiles. (You don't need to refresh the browser).
      • These datasets don't require a separate tile refresh because Power BI refreshes the tiles automatically during each scheduled or on-demand data refresh.

      Hi nandukrishnavs 

       

      Thanks for the answer.

      So , there is no auto refresh option for reports? we still need press refresh now button or reload tab? 

      thanks

      Hi.

      So pinning whole report page as "tile" (not report individual graphics, but whole page) to dashboard does not provide automatic refresh capabilitys? When i pin individual graphics from page then automatic refresh is working when dataset is updatated.

      I am using dataset "push" method and would like to desing my "tile" as a group of graphics and shapes.

       

      Thanks!

    You can create in a flow in Power Automate to automatically update the data. You can then download a Google Chrome extension like Auto-Refresh, and have the Power BI Refreshed around the same time as when you schedule the Power Automate.

    So given your answer nandukrishnavs is there a way for a dashboard to get updated without someone actually refreshing the data? What I mean is I recall that with sheets and tableau you don't have to refresh the data on tableau. If someone changes a data point in the underlying data sheet you are connected to (gsheets) that it will be auto reflected in the dashboard without the need for someone to refresh anything. I am curious if ms365 hosted on sharepoint and connecting powerbi to that sharepoint link makes it like tableau…I am not sure if its possible but I was going to research that also
