Automatic Page Refresh

I want my Power BI report to automatically update the pages when data comes in. I know that I need to activate the page refresh part for this, but when I look at app.powerbi, the page refresh button does not appear. However, when I download the report and open it on the desktop, the page refresh button appears. Why is this part seen on Desktop not visible on the web? (I'm sharing the screenshots below.)

And most importantly, if I open this section on the desktop, does it apply to the browser(app.powerbi) too? In other words, will the images in the reports be automatically refreshed in the browser when data comes in? Currently it refreshes when I hit the refresh button in the browser.

Hi @zelalakyol 

 

Is your dataset using Import mode? If so the data source has to be DirectQuery for automatic page refresh to work. here are more details: Automatic page refresh in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
