DataFlows - scheduled refresh

Hi there,


Let's say I schedule a refresh for a dataflow and a report that uses the same dataflow as source - at the same hour

If they both refresh at the same time will I get the dataflow data up to date or is there any "danger" that the report dataset refreshes before the dataflow?

Thanks

Hi. You shouldn't do that. The dataset won't be able to get the last updated data from the dataflow. Check how much it takes to the dataflow to refresh. Then schedule the dataset later considering the timeframe.

I hope that helps,

It would be nice if you could schedule it like an ETL process with dependencies and setup the sequence, but you can't.  I stagger mine.  I update all of my dataflows at say, 3AM and then schedule the datasets at 4AM.  In our case, once per day is enough.  This is more information than you asked for, but if you want or need real-time data, there is a process using shell scripting and the API where you can actually stream data to the PBI service.
