PowerBI Service refresh visuals imported mode
Hello,
I made a report in PowerBI services. The visuals are made with imported data. The semantic model is refreshing every 2 mins (with power automate). Also the visuals in the report are updating each 2mins when it is open (on my account). But when I share it to other people it is not refresing automatically for them (visually). They need to refresh the whole page to see the latest report. How does this come? Is this related to license? Or is it a setting?
Kind regards,
Sander
Hi. PowerBi reports have a cache that won't let you make instantly refresh of data for an opened screen. However, when the dataset is direct query or streaming, you can turn a format page setting for "auto refresh". You can read details here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-automatic-page-refresh
If you are importing data, I don't think that setting is in there. The only way of showing visuals that automatically change is using Dashboards. The dashboards will change the data as soon as the data changes. Reports won't, unless you can turn that setting on.
I hope that helps,

It is possible to refresh the screen if data is refreshed (by powerautomate for example). It works when peoples roles of the workspace is/or higher then contributor. (so not viewer)
