Report visuals not updating
Hi,
I've set up a report (using Direct Query on an Azure SQL database) and published it to Power BI Service. In the settings, I have scheduled it to refresh every 15 minutes, which I had assumed would trigger the visuals to update every 15 minutes with the latest data, however after a couple of hours they are still not auto-updating.
If I click refresh manually then the visuals do refresh, however that's not what I'm looking for as what we're trying to set up is a screen on the wall that updates automatically at regular intervals.
From my description above, is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Hi mahawkins3,
When you pin a live page from the report to a dashboard, there is a notification:
"Pin live page enables changes to reports to appear in the dashboard tile when the page is refreshed."
It means after the dataset is refreshed, we need to refresh the dashboard page which contains report live page to update data. If you want to refresh page automatically, you can try v-ljerr-msft's suggestion: Refresh Report in TV Mode .
Best Regards,

Hello,
For some reason, after I make some design changes on the PBIX file and publish, it says published successfully, but none of the design changes are coming through. I also made some tweaks on "Edit Queries" and those changes are not being reflected either. Never had this problem until today. Maybe there is a bug with latest PowerBI version?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm facing the same issue, please if you found the resolution
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi mahawkins3
From my understanding is that when you create Dashboard tiles, those will be updated on a schedule.
Whilst the reports area I understood it in that this will update when you interact with the data.
Thanks - unfortunately it seems like that doesn't work either (I have pinned the report page as a dashboard and it still doesn't update automatically). According to Power BI's documentation, the visualisations should refresh automatically regardless of whether it's a report or a dashboard, so I'm at a bit of a loss to understand what's going wrong:
"Whenever you refresh data in a dataset, whether by using Refresh Now or by setting up a refresh schedule, Power BI uses information in the dataset to connect to the data sources defined for it, query for updated data, and then loads the updated data into the dataset. Any visualizations in your reports or dashboards based on the data are updated automatically."
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-refresh-data/So, on further inspection, it updates automatically when I pin each individual visualisation as a dashboard tile, but does not update if I just pin the entire report as a dashboard. A bit of a strange system, but it seems to work now!
