Hi @Anonymous,

 

In Power BI, we can use stream data and update dashboards in real-time. See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-real-time-streaming

 

If your data source support DirectQuery or Connect Live, you can almost achieve "real-time". Each time we interact with visuals, data will be updated if source has new data. See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/refresh-data#live-connections-and-directquery-to-on-premises-data-sources
