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
Helper II am using a streaming semantic model
Community ChampionBecause 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.
