Create a flow to refresh the dataset

Hello,

 

I am very new to Power Automate. I want to do a simple flow where I click a button from my phone and it refreshes the dashboard. Can it be done easily?

 

I am not looking for anything into the report. 

 

Thanks in advance,

SK

    If you mean that opening the report is not an option, then it is difficult to use Power Automate to refresh. There's a few options I can think of - 

    1. Create a Power Automate flow and use the Flow Button for mobile trigger (this would require you to have Power Automate on Mobile)
    2. Use an API call https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/refresh-dataset
    3. Just open the related workspace in powerBI and manually refresh there (no need to actually open the dashboard)
