publish to web won't refresh

For a newly made report I used the "publish to web" function.

The first days it seemed to work well, but now the report won't refresh, so the 2-hourly update wont show in the webpage.

 

I know there can be a one hour delay, but even than there is no refresh.

Only when I refresh the html page (F5) the reports also update.

 

For example:

The report on the html page has the last refresh date/time:

 

Last refresh in the html page

 

The powerBI report itself has been refreshed at 16.03hrs

Last refresh powerbi

 

And at this moment (17.30hrs) the report still hasn't been refreshed.


There haven't been any changes on the website-side. I tried to republish (to web) the reports, used the newly generated iframe code, but still nothing.

 

Any ideas?

    I've got response from the Product Team.

    The behavior is by design. The users can use an URL parameter refresh with reload interval specified in minutes, e.g.: https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=<embedcode>&refresh=5

    Strange, I can't recall that I read anything about this function, but hey, going to give it a try :-)

    Hi Jordi,

     

    Does this issue occur on this report? Or for all of you report?

     

    Regards,

    Charlie Liao

        Correction: I've saved the report (In Desktop) as a copy and published that one Web, but the same problem.

        Report itself is refreshing fine but the embedded report won't refresh.

    I couldnt find the exact refresh counter to pass as the parameter.

    Ended up deleting the report and dataset from my workspace, then republished from pbi desktop and recreated the Publish to Web with a new embedded code. Not ideal given there's a refresh paramater but it worked.
