View Related: Last Dataset Refresh

Hi,   Users of our Power BI apps are used to clicking the "View Related" link in the list of reports on the Power BI service and seeing the Last Dataset Refresh date. This avoided us having to take...

    I got confirmation that it will come back but that they don`t have a date for the redeployment..... It is working/back (for testing purpose) internally at Microsoft.

     

    We use it mostly for end of month reporting (a lot of refresh) so hope to be back before end of November.

Hi Astro,

"Not for anyone in our organisation it doesn't." Based on my undertanding,  the people who have same permission for the report, some of them have the feature, while some others don't have, right? If it is, We have no power to check your own data in backend to find detailed reason. I personally suggest you create a support ticket on the right bottom of this page. 

Best Regards,
Angelia

Hi Angelia,

 

No this issue is not varying by user. A few weeks ago everyone in our organisation could see the list of datasets and the last refresh date in the "View Related" link which is besides the report name in the App view (see screenshot in previous message - not the workspace). Now, the link is still present for everyone but the data about the dataset used by the report is missing.

 

So, it would appear to be an update from Microsoft which has amended the data presented within this part of the Power BI service.  I will raise a ticket.

 

Thanks

Nick

    Astro,

     

    We have the same issue since Monday, it was working last week and the weeks before.  All our training doc give that information and now users of the App contact us saying it`s not showing !

     

    It still work in the workspace but not for any of the Apps we`ve created.

     

    We did open a ticket with Microsoft.

      Hi Christyne,

       

      Thanks for posting. I'm glad I'm not alone in reporting this though obviously not glad you're suffering the same issue. It's slightly discomforting that Microsoft can remove functionality (however small) to the detriment of customers. Oviously with on-premise solutions updates can be thoroughly impact tested but not a cloud service such as Power BI.
