Real-time updates in PowerBI without pressing the refresh button (Without Powerbi Premium Per User)
Hi! I want to show data in my charts updating real-time without pressing the refresh button. Currently, I have managed to get it working by using a streaming dataset (API). I used a python program to fetch data from PostgreSQL, convert it to JSON and send it to PowerBI Service via the PUSH URL provided by the streaming dataset. I tried to create a report on PowerBI desktop by using Get Data > Semantic Model and I selected my streaming dataset. I published the report to PowerBI Service but I do not see the real-time updating happening. However, when I create a dashboard on PowerBI Service, the real-time updating happens. Do PowerBI reports not support this real-time updating feature? Also, If I had PowerBI Premium Per User and used DirectQuery, would I see an option to enable auto-refresh such that real-time updating of my dashboard without the user needing to press any refresh button happens? (real-time updating mentioned refers to when data is inserted into PostgreSQL, I can almost immediately see it reflected in my chart with little lag time)Solved9KViews0likes18Comments
