Power BI Embedded Refresh

[Fanning]

Hi Community,

I have embedded a report on a web page by using the Embedded iframe script. The report uses Direct Query.

Now i really want to update the data in the report while the user stays on the page. I don't want to refresh the entire report, just refresh the data in the report.

Similar functionality to the Refresh button in PowerBI.com

Is there anyway to do this, with an API or Javascript or REST or some other way....

I have searched high and low for a solution to this issue and really hope someone here can help me.

Hi there. You can try this preview feature that says it works with embed:

Hope this helps,

Thanks a lot.

I was actually looking for a way to have the website trigger a refresh - however, after testing this a little i realize this might actually work.

I will do a little testing and upload it to the website.

Hi @Fanning ,

Using Automatic page refresh is a good way. In fact, if Automatic page refresh is not configured, the report will also refresh when the user refreshes the browser page, you can try it.

Thanks for all your help, i am going with the automated refresh for now - later we might look into trigger an update.
