How to keep refreshing the page automatically?

Hi

I created a measure =now() and I inserted it as a card so I can see the date and time. I want to keep refreshing the page automically so I can see the "right now", date and time. I read the article below but I do not see that  I have an option called "page refresh". Any help would be very much appreciated it. Thank you.

To use automatic page refresh in Power BI Desktop, select the report page for which you want to enable automatic page refresh. In the Visualizations pane, select the Formatting button (a paint roller) and find the Page refresh section near the bottom of the pane.

Hi @lastnn30,

 

That's currently not possible. There are other alternatives though. You can use a streaming dataset to get your current time. Seems like you're attempting to get trending stock tickers and that's a pretty good use-case for it.

Thank you for your help. I have one question if you do not mind, can I create a shortcut in my report page for the refresh icon in the home tab? Thank you

Hi @lastnn30 ,

 

Page refresh only applies to DirectQuery or LiveConnected datasources.

 

EDIT: Oh by the way, just so you are aware, if you end up publishing your model / report with this feature, your Power BI Capacity Administrators have the final say in the minimum page refresh frequency and its execution interval.
