Epiphany! Dashboards not Refreshing In Focus losing numbers/lines

I have made a discovery. I have been struggling for several weeks now with dashboards that do not refresh. I have also had an issue with the new In Focus not displaying actual graphs, lines, or numbe...

So, as of today, the new visualizations that I pinned to the group dashboards are both updating and showing lines and columns in the In Focus mode. The numbers are refreshing. They seem to be working fine.

I tried the same work around in my individual dashboards and the InFocus does not show data nor do the visualizations refresh. Still working to solve this issue if anyone has any suggestions.

I am experiencing similar issues in which the in-focus mode will not display any data. I also had to re-pin every item to a NEW dashboard to have the numbers refresh and it has been working just fine.

    I was able to use the original dashboard in the Group. I may give new Dashboards a try on my personal side. Wow, that's a lot of work . . .

      I think this is probably related to one of the main issues that the team is working on.

       

      Basically, when you pin a report to a dashboard, it doesn't (or didn't) refresh, because it made a static copy of the dataset for the user to modify on their own.  I'm pretty sure the BI team at MS is aware of this and working on it.  Maybe they stealth fixed it - and you only have to regenerate the dashboards once?

        Well, I am not sure about that. When I reported that it stopped refreshing on the dashboards they were genuinely surprised to hear that and requested more data. I have it working with this work around on my own while waiting for permission from my IT guy to download and run Fiddler's Trace by request of the BI team. I received that request Monday.

        I know others have mentioned this issue as well but my original post received no replies or suggestions at all from any user. So, i have shared what worked for me in the hopes that it will work for others.

        This does not work outside of my group on my own dashboards in My Workspace.
