Auto Re-run Failed Scheduled Report

[rsborje1]

Hello,

Is there a way to automatically re-run a failed scheduled Power BI Report? E.g. I have a report that is scheduled to run everyday at 7AM, but whenever it fails, I have to manually retry to rerun it. Can this be done automatically e.g. can the report try to rerun on its own?

Hi @rsborje1 ,

I'm afraid but currently there is no such functionality in power bi to automatically refresh the dataset if it fails. The reason might be that if a schedule fails due to some reason, then even if the automatic refresh occurs, it might again.

Hence power bi notifies through email so that you can resolve the issue and then schedule again.

However, you can submit "automatic refresh when schedule fails "as an idea here.

Something that you can do is schedule multiple refreshes within an 1-2 hours.

hi @rsborje1 

If scheduled refresh failded, it will send you an email to inform you why it turned off, you need to check it manually.

here is the idea, please refer to it:

Hi @rsborje1 ,

There really isn't a "on fail, run again" option.  You maybe could create a dataflow or modify an api.  At this time, the best option is probably to have a second or third scheduled refresh if you run into quite a bit of failures.

I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!
