No data about last refresh date in PowerBi Service

Hello,

I have a problem with showing data about the last refresh date in PowerBi Service.

In all reports that we have published in Service, we can see the date of the last refresh, like here:

But there is one report, that we can´t see that (the report is up to date and refreshes every day):

¿What could be the problem? 

Thank you

Hi @ania_roh ,

What is the connection mode of the report? 

 

Only import model will show up the updated date. It means the dataset on power bi service has been updated at that date.

 

Because when the dataset is Direct Query or Live connection model, the power bi does not refersh the report until user view the report or active with it.

If DirectQuery and LC show up the updated date, it will be every time user open the report, becasue power bi service query the data sourece, not in power bi service, to get the underlying date and calculate the data for visuals.

Hi

One user from my company experienced the same thing, the dataset uses import mode, it is successfully refreshed, but it doesn't show the last refresh date. Anyone has idea what it is the problem?

I believe in case of the 2nd report 'Contenedores_SGA' the dataset refresh has failed. Can you check once?

No, it refreshed today at 9 and it has another refresh for tommorow, and the date is refreshed completely.
