    Dear both,

     

    thanks for your help, the 1st solution sounds quite difficult to and for me, as I am not that advanced in Power BI 😉

    The live-page is quite simple but collides with my appearance.

     

    Maybe it was already clear to you, but I "edit" the report in Power BI service and then use "Pin visual" to pin it to a dashboard. This works for some visuals (bar- or line-chart) but obviously not for all. There is one interesting thing which I found out while opening the pinned dashboard-tile in focus-mode. There are multiple filters set to this tile also the visual uses only 1 field. When I remove these filters, the tile will update to what is expected. I cannot save these changes but again pin this new visual. This seems to work (for now) and I will keep an eye in the future. 

     

    Maybe even this hint/hack does help anybody else?!

In Power BI Service,  tiles are the snapshot of your data, if original visualization used to create the tile changes, the tile doesn't change. After you republished the report, the change of report will not reflect to the dashboard tile. Please see: Dashboard tiles in Power BI.

 

To work around the issue, I would recommend you create a report with required visuals in one report page, and republish to service. Then "Pin a live page" to a dashboard, this feature allows changes to reports to appear in the dashboard tile when the report page is refreshed. Please refer: Pin an entire report page, as a live tile, to a Power BI dashboard.

 

Best Regards,
