Using slicers with a real-time streaming dataset
Hi! I am currently using a real-time streaming dataset for my dashboard. I want to implement a dropdown slicer on my line chart. I tried to create a slicer in a powerBI report but I could not pin it to my dashboard. Does anyone know any workarounds for this such that I am able to implement real-time updates (without pressing refresh button) and a slicer?
Hi @efjw,
In my testing, the streaming semantic model was created through API approach.
Then created a report and slicer based on this semantic model.
The page can then be pinned to the dashboard.
As a result, you will be able to use the slicer in the dashboard.
However, according to this Microsoft documentation.
Real-time streaming in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
However, live report tiles won't update in real time as data is pushed in.
You have to manually update the visual by selecting the Refresh icon at top right on the dashboard page.
