    Hi nir,

     

    You can add a calculated column (Last Refresh Column) in the model with the formula =NOW()

    And measure Last Refresh Date :=MAX(Table[Last Refresh Column])

     

    Since calculated columns are calculated only on model refresh - it will make sure the calc is right

This worked for me and takes into account that when the auto refesh on PowerBI.com occurs it is done in GMT time:

 

Enter this M formula into a blank query in the get data button:

 

= DateTimeZone.ToLocal(DateTime.AddZone(DateTime.LocalNow(),-10))

 

The -10 is becasue I am +10 GMT. Not sure why it needs to be negative but it is.

 

Hope this works.
