Scorecard - Unable to refresh / Usage Metrics on a Scorecard
Hi JayJayBee
You're encountering two primary issues with your Power BI scorecard: automatic updates not functioning as expected and the absence of usage metrics tracking.
1. Automatic Updates for Scorecard Metrics
It's been observed that Power BI scorecards sometimes fail to refresh metrics automatically, even when underlying reports are updated as scheduled. This issue has been reported by multiple users, indicating a potential systemic problem. While manual refreshes via the "Edit" > "Connection" > "Refresh" pathway are effective, they are not practical for managing numerous metrics. Currently, there isn't a definitive solution to enforce automatic refreshing of scorecard metrics. It's advisable to monitor the Power BI Community Forums and official Microsoft updates for any forthcoming fixes or workarounds.
2. Tracking Scorecard Usage Metrics
As of now, Power BI does not offer built-in functionality to track usage metrics specifically for scorecards, unlike the features available for reports and dashboards. The "View usage metrics" option is primarily designed for traditional reports and dashboards, leaving scorecard usage tracking unsupported. To monitor interactions with your scorecards, consider implementing external tracking mechanisms, such as analyzing audit logs or utilizing third-party analytics tools, to gain insights into user engagement.
