'new look' metadate 'data updated' source
I'm trying to understand the 'new look' metadate 'data updated' feature.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-new-look
What is the source if one uses an AAS live connection that fuels data updated?
What happens if my Report has mutiple data sources - which date is reported in this case?
HI Simon_W,
>>What happens if my Report has mutiple data sources - which date is reported in this case?
Have you enabled the 'Parallel loading' option on your report? If this is a case, these data source refresh will be triggered at the same time.
Otherwise, these data sources will refresh based on your query table sorting order. (if you are work with composite mode, 'import mode' source will refresh based on sort order, 'live mode' datasource will refresh when you interact with visuals)
For detail refresh information, you can also take a look at the following link with similar requirements:
PBI service new-look updated time

Updated is a time when your source dataset has been updated. You can find it in your workspace in datasets tab.
Dataset contains all your queries, sources. Once the last query has been updated then it will be your Updated date.
Regarding AAS with Live connection from Power BI. In general, Live mode doesn't allow you to connect to more than 1 source.

the unfortuanat thing for a aas live connection it is a atomatic refresh every hour and has nothing to do with the real data refresh within the Cube.
This is quite misleading because in reports that use aas live connection a report user get the impressions that data has been refreshed where in fact nothing has happend.

How long takes to refresh AAS model? Can you inline a report and a source to be refreshed one by one?
