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 Champion"without requiring Power BI Premium Per User (with the Auto Page Refresh feature"
I don't think the Auto Page Refresh feature requires PPU license if you are on a Fabric capacity. On a Fabric capacity, you have access to Power BI Premium features.
If you have access to a Fabric trial capacity, or a purchased Fabric trial capacity, you can test it.
Keep in mind the auto page refresh can require a bit of compute resources, so it's good to test in a Fabric trial capacity if you have access to one, and verify the consumption in the Capacity Metrics App.
Anyway, great question! I think the reflections and question makes great sense. I'm also curious about this topic and I don't have all the answers to it.
You could consider posting the question as a new post here in the community, or over at the Fabric subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftFabric/s/OmbW2bA2SC
Thank you for your quick answer! For real-time scenarios, the Auto Page Refresh feature typically needs to be set to "per second" or utilize "change detection." Unfortunately, it seems that the 5-minute auto refresh interval is the limit on the Pro license. Would you agree with that? 🙂
