DATA ALERT not visible

[Anonymous]

hi 

I am trying to set up an alert on a dashboard to be contacted when a dataset in premium is refreshed more than 48 times a day.

I created my dashboard from the report as described below:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/service-dashboard-create#open-the-report-a...

When I go to my dashbaord, and try to select "manage the alerts" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/service-set-data-alerts, i don t find it. See below what I see ... when I select the ellipses in a tile.

Could you please help me to fix the issue?

Thank you

Hi @Anonymous 

This is most likely because the tile you're trying to set an alert on is not a gauge, KPI, or card tile. Alerts only work on these three types of tile which all have one simple value that can be set to drive an alert. If your card is a Chart, Pie or other type of visualisation you won't get alerts offered.

Hope this helps.
