    Hi amalagocki ,

     

    Alerts can work with streaming datasets if you build a KPI, card, or gauge report visual and then pin that visual to the dashboard. So, it’s not necessary to set up a streaming dataset with its push data through API to enable an alert.
    There have been instances where Power BI does not update or refresh against a SharePoint List. This could potentially affect the ability to set up alerts. 

    You may download the pbix file, refresh it in Power BI Desktop, and republish it to the Power BI service.and make sure you are not removing any required columns.

     

    Best regards.
