Threshold options when setting alerts
Hi,
I currently maintain a large dataset with around 300+ users and the need has come about to create alerts for changes in certain criteria. I'm using Power Automate to do this but seem to be very restricted in what I can class as a threshold.
Is there a way I create an alert based on any change, rather than above or below a certain number? If not, I would have to reset the threshold every time it deviated which would outweigh the benefit of the alert itself.
Thank you,
Ben

I'm wondering whether u are looking for the subscribe function.

Please note that tile refresh is based on the data changed:
Power BI maintains a cache for every tile visual on your dashboards and proactively updates the tile caches when data changes. In other words, tile refresh happens automatically following a data refresh. This is true for both, scheduled and on-demand refresh operations. You can also force a tile refresh by selecting More options (...) in the upper right of a dashboard and selecting Refresh dashboard tiles.

Just a thought you can create multiple alerts for the same card hope it helps and solves your problem!
Anonymous ,The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.
I am assuming power Bi alert not working for you -https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/service-set-data-alerts
Appreciate your Kudos.hi amitchandak , thank you for coming back to me.
what I mean to ask is, are there more options other than Above/Below in the condition box shown in the picture?
Hello Anonymous
Currently, we have only 2 options available for the alerts.
What we can try doing is using REST API but I am not sure if that will work.

Hi v-diye-msft
Not quite, it's definitely the same function but I would need it to run only when the data changed not when only refreshed. Thank you though. 🙂
