Data refresh is not displayed in the top left corner above the report

Hello,

 

In some reports, I have specified data refresh in the top left corner next to the report name.

In other reports, which are also updated daily, I have not.

Reports are in one workbook but use different semantic models. But the settings are identical.

How can I enable this in all reports?

Hi @Meeresblume 

The "Datenaktualisierung" (Data Refresh) info shown next to the report name isn't added automatically by Power BI, it's a custom text or card visual placed manually inside the report by the report creator.

If some of your reports show this and others don't, it's likely because only some of them have a measure or visual added to display the last refresh date. Even if the data updates daily, the label won’t appear unless it’s been set up inside the report layout.

To make it show up in all reports:

  • Add a measure that returns the latest refresh date (e.g., from a [LoadDate] field)
  • Use a card visual to display it
  • Position the card near the report name to match the style

That way, all your reports can consistently show when the data was last updated.

Regards,
Akhil.

Hi @Meeresblume ,

 

You’ll need to add the refresh date manually in each report, as Power BI doesn’t provide this as a built-in or global feature. If you’re using a common report template, it’s a good idea to include this element in the base design to maintain uniformity across reports.


Thanks,
Bhavin
