Reports show out-of-data data when accessing via Public Embed Code

Hopefully this will be a pretty simple answer.

 

I've got a report that was written in Power BI Desktop and then oublished online. I've added a gateway and the refresh is working absolutely fine. I can see up-to-date data within Power BI.

 

I generated an embed code and embedded on a local website.

 

The problem is the data showing using the embed code is out-of-date, infact it its only showing the data that was present when I first generated the embed code.

 

Is this a limitation of BI or is there anther step that I have missed?

 

Thanks,

Simon

The public links should update with your refreshes, however there is about an hour delay. 

 

ie. I publish report now, it looks like it did when I created it. 4 hours from now I do a refresh through the service, it might be 5 hours till the public link shows the new data. 

 

I find you can see the updates from a refresh immediately when logged into the service, but it takes time to update on the public links. MS says "it takes about an hour to update".

Hi @simbobaker,

 

As DSimma's said, the visual doesn't show the real time records, it has almost a hour delay.

For detail information, you can refer to below article:

 

Data refresh
Data refreshes are automatically reflected in your embedded report or visual. It can take approximately 1 hour for refreshed data to be visible from embed codes. You can disable automatic refresh by selecting do not refresh on the schedule for the dataset used by the report.

 

Publish to web from Power BI
