Real-time streaming in Power BI (Preview) - charts not refreshing
Chatted privately with Helen - the solution in this case was to make sure that the DateTime value was sent in the proper former format: 2016-08-23T16:13:05.970Z. Improperly formatted DateTimes may cause unpredictable visualization behavior, as seen above.
You can create reports from streaming data sets only if you enable the historical data capture.
Hope this helps!
Anonymous Yes it did in fact help a lot and I just created a report from a streaming dataset (of type API). However I have this report that receives live data but does not update unless I press the refresh button. Here are my observations from my report based on a streaming dataset:
- Looking at report: No autorefresh, I need to click on the refresh button to see new data.
- Looking at full report(pin live page) from dashboard: No autorefresh, no refresh button therefore cannot look at new data unless I press F5
- Looking a single visual (pin visual) from dashboard: The view autorefreshes as data is coming in.
How could this refresh from "pin live view" or report directly ?
Thanks
If it's a streaming dataset, then the Dashboard should be updating automatically (Mine does). The report you do need to hit the refresh button for it to update.
There was a bug that if you had more than one streaming dataset on a dashboard, then it sometimes would not. Microsoft know about it, but I don't know if it's been fixed yet.
I am facing the same problem, I am streaming data via streaming analytics to create report and pinned live to dashboard, but I havev to hit refresh to get the updated data. Did you find any solution?
