Hello,

 

I have a dashboard connected via DirecQuery and the tiles won't refresh unless the button 'Refresh Dashboard Tiles' is pressed. Even refreshing the webpage (F5) doesn't refresh tiles.

 

Is this an expected behavior or an issue? 

 

Cheers,

Anton

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    Thanks for the reply. I would imagine that a page refresh (F5) should refresh tile regardless of automatic refreshes. But like I mentioned in my last comment it's not the case.  
    Do you have any suggestions on how can I make real 'Live' dashboard? 

     

    Thanks

      Anonymous If you want to stick to dashboard tiles, then there is no "live" mode unless you are streaming data. You can pin a live page, which when the user interacts will show the latest if using Direct Query. It is interesting that the F5 doesn't work...

      What is the end goal? Are you displaying this and you want it to automatically update?

        Hi Anonymous,

         

        The end goal is to have a dashboard that refreshes immediately displayed on a TV/Screen. We are a food manufacturing company that operates 24/7 and use PowerApps to record data.

         

        For example, I want to be able to see how many pallets have been made (as recorded in PowerApps) on a live basis. I looked into Azure stream analytics and couldn't find a way to connect a PowerApp into it. 

         

        Any thoughts how would this be possible?

         

        Thanks
