Better visibility about Dataflow and Dataset refreshes

[joshua1990]

Hi experts!

I'm maintaining and owning several dataflows and datasets in multiple Power BI PRO workspaces.

As of now I just get an email if a refresh failed etc.

Is there any way to build a Power BI Report that shows me 

1. If a Dataflow/ Dataset refresh failed
2. When the next refresh is scheduled

Is this possible?

Hi @joshua1990 

You can find the refresh history of the dataflow then imports it into Power BI as a dataset and then does report authoring. However, the scheduled refresh time can not be accurately judged, because the scheduled refresh is to initiate the refresh within 15 minutes of the scheduled time slot, but a delay of up to one hour can occur if the service can't allocate the required resources sooner. you can refer to the following link.
