Hey,
as mentioned in the title, my pinned dashboard tiles do not update. The reports below are showing the latest data but the pinned tiles do not refresh and stay with the data when they were created.
In general I have one big Power BI-datasource where I have connected several data to, mainly csv-files. This datasource is connected to different reports where I created the user-reports including visuals. Both are published to the same workspace and from this user-reports I created some dashboard-tiles.
The refresh is done manually, as I download the new csv-files, update to datasource and pusblish to workspace, refresh user-reports and publish to workspace and last but not least update the app.
Any suggestions I can do to not pin all tiles each month again?
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Dear both,
thanks for your help, the 1st solution sounds quite difficult to and for me, as I am not that advanced in Power BI 😉
The live-page is quite simple but collides with my appearance.
Maybe it was already clear to you, but I "edit" the report in Power BI service and then use "Pin visual" to pin it to a dashboard. This works for some visuals (bar- or line-chart) but obviously not for all. There is one interesting thing which I found out while opening the pinned dashboard-tile in focus-mode. There are multiple filters set to this tile also the visual uses only 1 field. When I remove these filters, the tile will update to what is expected. I cannot save these changes but again pin this new visual. This seems to work (for now) and I will keep an eye in the future.
Maybe even this hint/hack does help anybody else?!

In Power BI Service, tiles are the snapshot of your data, if original visualization used to create the tile changes, the tile doesn't change. After you republished the report, the change of report will not reflect to the dashboard tile. Please see: Dashboard tiles in Power BI.
To work around the issue, I would recommend you create a report with required visuals in one report page, and republish to service. Then "Pin a live page" to a dashboard, this feature allows changes to reports to appear in the dashboard tile when the report page is refreshed. Please refer: Pin an entire report page, as a live tile, to a Power BI dashboard.
