Do not see Alert Icon
I'm trying to set alerts on standard Cost card. When i click on the ellipses, i do not see any icons let alone a bell one for Alerts.
I get the option to Export or remove.. but thats it. What am I doing wrong?
a_jtuck-lee From the screenshot you've provided it appears to be a visual within report. You can set data alerts only in dashboard tiles. So pin that visual to a dashboard and then you will have option for data alerts.

a_jtuck-lee Below are some of the limitations on data alerts.
Alerts are currently not supported for Bing tiles, or card tiles with date/time measures.
Alerts only work with numeric data types.
Alerts only work on data that is refreshed. They do not work on static data.
I don't believe any of the listed is the issue.

I also have the same problem, but I have pinned the tiles to the dashboard. The data is from a web source, so it should be refreshable. It looks like instead of an Alerts option I have an Export Data option. I don't see the alerts option whether its from a pinned dashboard tile or from a report that is pinned.
