Automatic refresh not appearing on Last refresh card
Hi 4jhill ,
Thank you for your question, and great points raised by Tutu_in_YYC and tharunkumarRTK .
It's true that ensuring the query is included in the dataset refresh and refreshing the browser after a scheduled refresh are important steps to check.
In addition to that, I’d like to share a solution that ensures the 'Last Refresh' card reflects the automatic refresh.
>Modify the query as below
let
CurrentUTCDateTime = DateTimeZone.UtcNow(),
CurrentLocalDateTime = DateTimeZone.SwitchZone(CurrentUTCDateTime, 2),
LocalDateTime = DateTimeZone.RemoveZone(CurrentLocalDateTime) // Remove the time zone metadata for consistency
in
LocalDateTime
Now again publish the report to the service and configure the schedule refresh.
This time it should work and display the correct date/time in the card.
Hope this helps. Please accept as solution so that other users can benefit from it. Kudos would be appreciated.
Best Regards.
I used Power Query:
let
Source = DateTime.From(DateTimeZone.SwitchZone(DateTimeZone.FixedLocalNow(),2)),
#"Converted to Table" = #table(1, {{Source}}),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Converted to Table",{{"Column1", type datetime}}),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type",{{"Column1", "Last refresh date/time"}})
in
#"Renamed Columns"
Super Useryeah this should work just fine. Check 2 things:
1. if the query is included in refresh
2. after the scheduled refresh in power bi service, refresh the browser. Sometimes the browser cache the previous value
