Auto refresh visual on report
Hi,
Is there a way to make the visuals of a report to automatically refresh after a dataset schedule refresh has been done? Right now, the end-user needs to click on Refresh on the page, click on the browser refresh button or hit F5.
Thanks
Hi Anonymous,
Refreshing the visual container updates the cached report visuals, within a report, once the data changes. So currently it is not live and you need to refresh the report /page manually. For more details, please check the online document.

- Hi there
As far I know this is currently the only way, or a user has to interact with the report.
Only dashboard tiles update automatically or on a defined schedule.
I am certain that there is an idea for this on https://ideas.powerbi.com Hi Anonymous,

Hi v-frfei-msft,
Ok, thank you for your reply. I have already read that documentation. With your comments it's clear.
I think it could be a good thing if someone can make the following paragraph clearer. Maybe telling that in order to see up-to-date data the user must click on Refresh to read the updated cached report visuals.

Thank you
