Get the next update of a report in Power BI Desktop

[rodrigosan]

Dear all, I would like to know if it is possible to connect to a workspace and retrieve the date and time of the next update of a report published in that workspace. The data should be accessed from Power BI Desktop. Is this possible?

Hello, @v-zhangti , You're very welcome for your response, but what I'm looking for is not the last update but rather the next update.

Hi, @rodrigosan 

The data can be accessed from Power BI Desktop by using the Power BI service live connection feature. This feature allows you to create multiple reports from the same dataset that is shared in the Power BI service.

To use this feature, you need to follow these steps:

• 1.Create and share a dataset in the Power BI service that everyone can use.
• 2.Connect to the dataset by using a Power BI service live connection from Power BI Desktop.
• 3.Add a query in Power BI Desktop that returns the last refresh date of the dataset.
• 4.Publish your report to the Power BI service and refresh the dataset as needed.
