    spinachbisque How quickly are you checking the report after the dataset has said it has refreshed? The Dataset, Report and dashboard are seperate objects and are not all immediately refreshed after the dataset. It is in order. If the dataset refreshes, it is likely it will be 10-15 before the report, and then the Dashboard. You can also initiate a refresh in the report after the dataset.

    If you know, and or tried the above, then this sounds like a bug or issue that you should raise in a support ticket or the issues page.

Thanks for the update on that ims20180411kjb , really appreciate it.

I can fully understand your frustration, and I guess I can empathize to some extent with the MS devs, it might not be a simple fix. An official update from them however would be something at least, to let users know that their frustrations are not going unheard..

I look forward to your (hopefully positive) future updates, will stay tuned.

Thanks again :)
