Helper IReal-time updates in PowerBI without pressing the refresh button (Without Powerbi Premium Per User)
If you are on a Pro workspace, then the recommended way is to create a streaming semantic model and then create a dashboard (not report) using data from that streaming semantic model.
Another option (not as smooth updates as the first option) is to create a Push semantic model, create a report on top of that Push semantic model, and then pin some tiles from the report into a dashboard.
The way I understand the docs, the only way to get automatic updates in a Pro workspace, is to use the dashboard functionality.
frithjof_v I tried to use my streaming dataset to create a report in powerbi and pin the visuals in my dashboard and the real time updates happen! I think this works too 🙂 thanks so much for your help
Community ChampionWhat license is the workspace where the report is? (Pro, Fabric, Premium, Trial, etc.?)
Do you have a Fabric capacity?
Are you using Streaming semantic model or Push semantic model or DirectQuery semantic model?
Based on your description, it might sound like you are using Push semantic model?

Because you are able to create a report, I am guessing that you are using a Push semantic model instead of a Streaming semantic model. The difference can be quite subtle.
Have you enabled 'Historic data analysis'? If so, your streaming semantic model is actually a push semantic model.
