Hello v-qiuyu-msft

Yes, you are correct. I understand your explanation.
I see PowerBI losing some functionality because of this:
- let's say I have a giant screen on which I want to present real time data; just open the report, leave it open, so that the audience can see real time how the graphs and charts change based on the dataset being updated.

- currently you cannot do that (as per your explanation);

- furthermore, an autorefresher still does not do the job because it will resize the report to a preview mode (take it out of the Focus Mode);


It would help a lot if one of the 2 issues would be fixed(either a direct hyperlink to a report Focus Mode view or to be able and set the report to autorefresh by itself).

Hi robertra,

 

As far as I know, the report is not supported to set auto refresh like the dataset, you can vote on this similar idea item: Schedule refresh to update reports. In addition, we cann't get a focus mode about a visua in the report, but we can pin the visual to dashboard and get URL in focus mode like below. Then you can try to set the browser auto refresh this page, see: http://www.guidingtech.com/12491/auto-refresh-pages-chrome-firefox-opera/
