Sharing Scheduled Refresh Dashboards between Pro & Free users

There is problem sharing scheduled refresh dashboard from Pro users to Free.

 

Pro user: Create a dataset,report with free user supported sources - Shedule for daily refresh, once in day..Warning it has pro content.

Free user: Create the same exact as above dashboard,sources - Shedule for daily refresh, once in day..No warnings, can share between free users.

 

It seems that when you try to schedule refresh as a Pro user it keeps your ability to schedule hourly and not actually counts the refresh intervals..This makes impossible for a Pro user to share any schedule refresh dashboard to Free users..even if is weekly sceduled ( always from supported sources by Free accounts )

 

Sandy Are you aware of the behaviour?

    Thanks for pointing this out konstantinos, we'll investigate on our end. Just to be clear, tagging the ADMINs should NOT create the expectation of a faster response or anything like that. It will help us identify potential bugs, flag them, prioritize them and get back to the topic when is solved. It will be much better to use the new labels (which are mandatory) and tag messages with a good description.

     

    We are on it! Thanks again!

      Is there any resolution on this or is there a way to effect a refresh via code? We are hitting the same issue in a project and this could kill in an instant the use of Power BI. There are alternatives that would not cause this problem so I am keen to get this resolved.

        ells So far the only way is to upload and design the dashboard from a powerbi free account and share the dashboard through his account and not importing/design with powerbi pro account..Of course need to use only free refreshable features..( not on -prem ,live , only daily refresh )

    Any update here on how Pro users can share a dashboard with free users even if the Pro dashboard is only refreshing Daily which the Free users can do as well?
