Helper IReport visuals not updating
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,

Super UserHi 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.
mahawkins3Thanks - 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."

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!
I have been working on this problem for some time, have tried what you suggested and it works!. I am running an on prem gateway to SQL server. It is hard to believe that there is so much content about this subject, yet no clear communication on how it works.
To summarize what mahawkins3 stated: you have to pin the individual report visualization (graph, table, etc..) using
pin instead of Pin Live Page for real-time updates to work.
