Need help on Power BI Page Auto refresh for Import model

[arun1780]

Hi,

              I am looking to do an Auto refresh on Report Page (Visuals), (for every 15 mins) which is based on Import model, apart from the Data Refresh. Please share me, if you have come across any such scenario in Power BI Reports.

              As I know, there is Auto refresh for Visuals for DQ model (Screen shot).

Regards,

Arun

Hi @arun1780 ,

Sadly the import storage mode is not supported for automatic page refresh according to the offical document.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-automatic-page-refresh#consideratio... 

Considerations and limitations

There are a few things to keep in mind when you use automatic page refresh in Power BI Desktop or in the Power BI service:

• Import storage mode is not supported for automatic page refresh.
• Composite models that have at least one DirectQuery data source are supported.
• You can only have one change detection measure per dataset.
• There can only be a maximum of 10 models with change detection measure in a Power BI tenant.

Best Regards,

Jay

@arun1780 , I think you are correct, it is not supported for import mode. as data do not change unless schedule refresh run, there is no need to refresh the page.

You can log an idea for that https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/
