Sharepoint Report Refresh?

Hello BI-Community,   we have a report embedded in a Sharepoint site. In this report we have a map showing locations of moving objects. The underlying data  (long/lat) is refreshed evey 15 minutes....

You are right about the slicer thing, which is why at first I thought it's a caching issue in Chrome. The only solution seems to be to close the browser tab and re-open, which defeats the purpose of the whole thing. 

 

Strangly enough, we have webcam footage in our report that appears to be updating in regular intervals (direct URL link).

Got reply from PowerBi/MS:

 

I can repro the same issue as you. I’ve reported it internally to Power BI Team: CRI 33615073
I’ll post here once I get any update about it.

 

That's good, hopefully they will fix it soon.

    I've got response from the Product Team.

    The behavior is by design. The users can use an URL parameter refresh with reload interval specified in minutes, e.g.: https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=<embedcode>&refresh=5

    Strange, I can't recall that I read anything about this function, but hey, going to give it a try :-)
