No Alert icon in pinned visual

[Alirezam]

Hi,

I am receiving daily data for water usage and I want to receive a notification alert when the usage exceeds a certain amount. I created a 'CARD' to show the 'yesterday usage' and I pinned the visual to a dashboard. However, when I click on the setting, there is no Bell Shape icon to set up the alert. What is wrong? I read somewhere that the visual should not include date/time!! so what is the point of the feature as most of our indicators change over time!!

Many Thanks..

Hi @Alirezam ,

Please check if the setting of your card hit any following limitations:

• Alerts aren't supported for card tiles with date/time measures.
• Alerts only work with numeric data types.
• Alerts only work on refreshed data. They don't work on static data.
• Alerts only work on streaming datasets if you build a KPI, card, or gauge report visual and then pin that visual to the dashboard.

You can get more details about setting data alerts in Power BI Service from the following official documentation:
