My requirement is that I need to display a report on a wall mounted screen (without logging in as I use a special service to display it) and have it refresh the data regularly.
Dashboards refresh automatically but I can't use a dashboard as these can't be web published (need to log in).
I have published a report to the web but even when the dataset is updated in PBI Service and I navigate to the url again the data in the report has not refreshed.
If I manually click refresh on the report in PBI Service this updates the report but only in PBI Service the web published report is still old data.
Any ideas?

Hi @Weka ,
Based on my research, there is no such way to speed up the progress. You can refer to this article: How it works (technical details).

Thanks that answers my question.
It caches "approximately one hour".
Good to see it documented.
This is fine for my purposes I just needed to know how long.
Turns out this updates after an hour or so. I guess PBI is caching it (it is not the browser). Any ideas where the documentation is on this or if I can speed it up?
