Azure Analysis Service or Azure Stream Analytics

Hi,

 

I needed the recommendations from the experts to overcome the no. of refresh limitation in my Power BI reports. I have Power BI premium license and Cosmos db is the datasource but there is a limitations of 48 times to refresh the reports.

The requirement is to show the data on visuals at real time in the reports.

There are 2 options which i got to know Azure Analysis Service and Azure Stream Analytics to show the data on visuals on real time. As i got to know only a very limited set of Power BI visuals (Card, Line chart, Clustered bar chart, Clustered column chart and Gauge) supports streaming dataset and it does not support filter also. 

 

I would like to know more about these two and which one should be preferred. I will need all types of visuals and filter option for my reports.

 

Thanks

Hi @jitpbi ,

 

If you wanna show the data on visuals at real time,you should choose  direct query or live connection as the dataset connection mode or you may store the dataset on a cloud service,such as onedrive,sharepoint,etc.

Below is the related reference.
