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 the...

    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 :-)

Got reply from PowerBi/MS:

 

I can repro the same issue as you. I’ve reported it internally to Power BI Team: CRI 33615073
I’ll post here once I get any update about it.

 

That's good, hopefully they will fix it soon.

    Still the same problem.

    More specific, the problem seems to be in the use of a slicer in the report.

    Say value A is selected, and after a day still the data from previous day is shown. When I then select Value B I get to see the recent data from today. Then I select back Value A, and get to see the old data from yesterday again.

      Last week I updated the report, adjested all the urls with the refresh paramater, and now my reports are nicely updating. Looks like problem solved (for me).

        Hello Jordi,

        I tried the same thing that you told. But, it is not working. The Published URL doesnot refresh. Any solutions?

    Where do I put the Refresh? I have tried multiple location in the embed code and can not get his to work?

      Todd,

       

      Try this, click the Gear icon on the top right, then Manage embed codes.

      Select the embed code for the report you've published to web and add the corresponding counter as specified in the solution. If you have refreshed or updated the report multiple times then it would 2, 3, 4, etc that you can try.

       

      https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=<embedcode>&refresh=5

       

       

      Hope that helps,

      Hiram

        Hi Folks,

         

        I cant seem to get this working for me.

         

        hfleitas you seemed to me mentioning that the refresh=[value]

        the value should be some value which is maybe a version of the updated report?

         

        Do you know how to find such a version number I cant seem to find it within my embed codes.

        Also from the original message from customer services it seems to say the value should be the refresh interval in minutes?

         

        Thanks

    THANK YOU! It was really frustrating to publish to the web and have it show wrong data. This fixed it for me!
