Custom refresh schedule?

I'm working on a dashboard that is scheduled to refresh twice daily. However, the client has a requirement that at the beginning of each quarter, the dashboard must freeze for 10 days and continue showing the final numbers from the previous quarter. It should only start refreshing again once the current quarter has 10 days' worth of data. Is it possible to automate this schedule?

You could also consider using Power Automate with a dataset refresh step. You could build your condition into a TriggerCondition or (simpler) start with an Excel table with Y or N for each day to indicate if refresh should occur or not (e.g., Filter to the current day and then refresh or not based on Y vs. N).

Hi @carinalou ,

 

I think you need to build something yourself. My suggestion would be that you update the schedule refresh settings according to your schedule with a script that uses the Update Refresh Schedule API:

Datasets - Update Refresh Schedule - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

 

Let me know if this helps 🙂
