Schedule refresh + subscribe when connecting Live to Tabualr

[Yael]

Hello,

I'm connecting Live to Tabular Model.

I've created a report, and want to schedule this report and receive it by mail every 2 hours.

When creating a report from Tabular connect Live, Is there a possibility to define a refresh frequency and subscribe so I would receive an email every 2 hours?

Thank you!

Hi Yael,

In power bi service, schedule refresh can only be set on import mode, please refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/refresh-data.

If the report refreshes more than once a day, you will only receive the email snapshot after the first refresh, please refer to: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-report-subscribe.

For email subscriptions on live connection datasets, you will only get emails when the data changes. So, if a refresh occurs but no data changes, Power BI will not send you an email.

Regards,

Jimmy Tao

Thanks @v-yuta-msft.

I connect Live to Tabular. I've created a report, published to the web, set a refresh of data set for every 2 hours, and subscribed. I still receive the mail once a day, and the data has refreshed and changed more often than that.

@Yael,

#3 from the link above, "You will be sent an email whenever the data is updated, but no more than once per day."
