Scheduled refresh
Hi all, I have set scheduled refresh for my report and I want to display the last refreshed time/date in the dashboard. Is it possible to display the last refreshed time/date in the dashboard? ...
Yes it does. I use it in every single report I write.
Note the refresh time (or data for that matter) will not update on the user's browser unless they refresh it or you have the pages set to auto-reload every once in a while. When you pull up a Power BI report, that data is "static" and does not reflect a new refresh in the background unless you refresh the browser or the report using the icon.
the only way this would not work with a scheduled refresh is if you set the table that creates this to not automatically refresh.
Hi Anonymous - I wrote a blog post about this a while back, including handling daylight savings time if your timezone uses that. Add a Refresh Time Stamp To Your Power BI Reports — ehansalytics
