Hi experts;
I have my landing page:
Inside of it; one of my tiles, seems not to update not sure why…
I checked all the settings and I haven’t found one to force a refresh:
How can I force an auto-refresh on a tile without the user having to press f5?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
If your Dataset is DirectQuery Mode, because Power BI doesn't import the data, you don't need to run a data refresh. However, Power BI still performs tile refreshes and possibly report refreshes. A tile is a report visual pinned to a dashboard, and dashboard tile refreshes happen about every hour so that the tiles show recent results. You can change the schedule in the dataset settings, or force a dashboard update manually by using the Refresh now option.
