How can I automatically refresh the data in a Power BI report connected to Fabric Lakehouse?
- 1 year ago
Hi FranciscaIr - you're facing is a common one when using Power BI with real-time or frequently updated data sources like a Fabric Lakehouse. While the data in the Lakehouse updates automatically, Power BI's default behavior is to cache data until the report is refreshed manually or on a schedule.
Automatic Page refresh (APR) works only with DirectQuery or Live Connection datasets, which should apply to your Fabric Lakehouse connection.
- The minimum refresh interval depends on your licensing (1 second for Premium, 30 seconds for Pro).
Few suggestions
- If using DirectQuery, enable Automatic Page Refresh.
- If using Import mode, schedule dataset refreshes as frequently as your license allows.
- If real-time updates are critical, consider streaming datasets for dashboards or exploring Fabric's real-time capabilities.
