Hi justynalucznik , I have a question on the Power BI Goals Refresh settings.

As you can see in the bellow image, I have a Scorecard in which I have a KPI for which I configured a Daily Refresh (left 2 images)
However, for the entire Scorecard Dataset, the refresh is not enabled (right image)

Can you explain me precisely what is the impact of the Scorecard Dataset refresh, as aparently it's configured at individual goal level?

Thank you!

Hi Anonymous 

You are right, each individual goal refreshes automatically. The scorecard dataset is a feature that lets you build your own reports on top of scorecard/Goals data. It is an 'import' dataset that pulls all the goals and check-ins from the goals subsytem on refresh. For example if you create a goal and enter some values in a scorecard, they will be only available in the scorecard dataset on refreshing. Hope it helps

 

Thanks

    Hi Rajatt ,

     

    I have a similar doubt.

    I am using a Direct Query model and published the dataset in a workspace. I have invited a guest user and gave contributor access to that user in another workspace with build permission for my published dataset. The invited user is able to create a new report, and then create a new scorecard by connecting to the newly created report.
    Along with the scorecard, a new Dataset is generated in that workspace with the same name as of scorecard. For this scorecard, we can see Scheduled Refresh option available. Even if it is off, I can see data points coming in the Trend line in my scorecard.

     

    1. So, does that mean there is no connection with the Scheduled Refresh for the Scorecard Dataset and the Metrics inside the Scorecard ?

    2. If we want to plot data and compare weekly/monthly, how are we supposed to do ? Is it done using the tracking preference for the metric ?
