Direct Query to Dataverse

Hello,

I have a Direct Query setup for a Dataverse.

 

When I make an update to the Dataverse, how do I make sure the update is visible in Power BI?

Do I need to schedule a refresh or because I am using Direct Query I should see the update immediately?

 

Thank You,

 

Michael

HI @MikeSolvesBI ,

 

According to this article Data refresh in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn you do not need to set a data refresh for a Direct Query.

 

That said, the way it works is that when you first open the report or interact with the report, you will get the latest data from the data source, regardless of setting data refresh. I believe that the default is one hour in the dashboard to refresh th tiles.
