Show a message if a report is currently being refreshed?

Hello all,

Is there a way to determine (in PBI Service) if a report's dataset is currently being refreshed and display that on the report itself?

Thanks!

Hi @wbhite ,

 

I'm afraid that the current version of PBI can' t achieve the idea.

It's been over 3 years since this post... anyone know if this feature is available now?

I have the refresh date displaying on the report, but it shows the start of the refresh, and some of the report refreshes can take a while.  It would be great to be able to show that the report is currently refreshing.

 

Currently, using this for Last Refresh DateTime

SELECT
CAST(SYSDATETIMEOFFSET() AT TIME ZONE 'Eastern Standard Time' AS datetime) as 'Last Refresh (ET)'
