Refresh dashboard tiles in less than 15 minutes in Direct query

[shamsuddeenvp]

Dear,

I am aware that dashboard tiles in the dashboard refreshes in every 15 minutes. However if we do any interactions in report, report gets refreshed as it runs the query behind the scene.

is it any option to reduce the refresh period in dashboard ? as we will be dislaying it in the management wall and they would like to see teh changes in near real time?

Br,

@shamsuddeenvp You can accomplish this with a "Push dataset" which is a type of streaming, but it will likely require a re-work of your solution. Details here -> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-real-time-streaming

Thanks @Seth_C_Bauer

I am aware of the Push Daata set mechanism basically it uses Power BI REST API,  that nees re work and need to have Azure AAD etc.

I am using direct query to accomplish near real time as i understand one use of DQ is to get near lime..however dashboard tiles refreshes every 15 minutes.

Is there any other way to minimise this refresh frequeency?

@shamsuddeenvp If you want to force the use of a dashboard then you have to use push. There is no mechanism available to make your DQ initiate a refresh on the dashboard. If you only use the report, then whenever they interact with it they will see the latest data. 

Based on your previous reply, you probably already know this. So I am confirming that you don't have a way to do this in your current solution.
