Real time dashboard

Hi,

 

I created a new project that connects to a sql server database using a direqt query mode.

As I understood this method is not real time, that means the data can be updated every 15 minutes and no less.

 

Is there a way to see this data in real time (at the second level) ?

 

If this is possible, will I need to create a new project or have a way to use the same project

 

Thanks,

Alon

Hi there


If you want a real-time dashboard, you will have to create a streaming dataset and then push the data into the dashboard to see it updating in realtime.

 

You could then link the dashboard tile back to your DirectQuery model.
