Auto Update Dashboard Tile When X Axis Changes?

[s7powerbi]

I have a bar chart in one report and the X axis reflects months (Jan, Feb, ...).  As a year progressess additonal months will be added so the visual changes.  When I publish the chart to the PBI service form PB Desktop the report in the service updates but the tile of the report in the dashboard does not.   At the moment the only solution I have is to delete the tile from dashboard and then repin the report to the dashboard (this seems pretty ridiculous).  Is there a way to auto update the dashboard tile when additional months are added to the report?

Hi @s7powerbi,

The tiles in the Dashboard should refresh automatically. Please refer to Tile refresh. Please check out these things below.

1. Please make sure the browsers you used are supported. Please refer to service-browser-support.

2. Please change to another browser and try again.

3. Did you set the refresh in the settings?

4. Why did you upload the file to update the reports?

5. Were the tiles updated when you refresh the tiles?

Best Regards,

Dale

I figured out the issue. In short, the problem was that I was using filters in my report within PBI Desktop.  I was pulling in Jan-Dec but then I would filter out the months I didn't want and then publish to the PBI Service.  The repors within the service would update but associated tiles on the dashboard would not.  I realized that PBI considered that a change to the design of the report because the "filters" had changed.  The filter is the real culprit.  To solve the problem I am making changes to my data model so that filters are not used which will solve the problem.
