Solved: My published dashboards are not updating automatic...

dgonzalez164 · ‎02-14-2022

In all my dashboards (created with API Rest) that I published on my server, have not being updating to the most recent changes to the dataset automatically. But on my Deskptop when I click Refresh they do update and I always have to manually upload the dashboards to their most recent state.

Is there a way to make my dashboard refresh automatically on the server without having to do it manually?

Hi @dgonzalez164 ,

Do tiles exist in your dashboard, tiles do not change if the original visualization used to create them changes.

Dashboard tiles in Power BI.

I would suggest you create a report with required visuals in one report page, and publish the report to service. Then pin an entire report page via "Pin a live page" feature to a dashboard. Because pin live page enables changes to reports to appear in the dashboard tile when the page is refreshed. For more information, please refer to this article: Pin an entire report page, as a live tile, to a Power BI dashboard.

Whether you use RLS in your data set, RLS will add a tile for each user, which will also cause slow refresh or even problems.

I face the same problem where the tiles in my dashboard do not refresh unless I go into the dashboard and refresh manually.

What happened was that the tiles sometimes reflect the data dated 2 or 3 days ago, randomly. Even after I manually refresh, I go back to the same dashboard some time later and the data might reflect info from a few days ago, again randomly.

This phenomenon seems to be happening only in the recent few weeks and I'm pretty sure I didn't make any changes to the Power BI report itself.

Please advise! Thanks!
