"refresh"  and "refresh"  are separate things.  Just look at the log for a semantic model refresh.  You will see up to five rows for a single refresh.  Lots of meta data refreshes and (unwanted !!!) retries.

 

What is the actual problem you are trying to solve?

Hello Ibendlin,

Thanks for the response. We as a Power BI admin are trying to monitor the refreshes associated with the capacity so that we can try optimizing the load on the capacity for our Organization. Therefore, we more keen to know about the the asks regarding the refresh summary in Capacity settings.

    The number of refreshes has no real meaning. What you want to focus on is the CU consumption which is a combination of cumulative refresh duration and the computational complexity of the refresh.

      Okay, however, the aim here is also to see how many schdule refreshes are set along with the CU consumption. Therefore, would need to understand what "Refresh per day" mean in refresh summary page.

        Use the "Get Refresh Schedule" API call across all semantic models.
