Hi,
I currently maintain a large dataset with around 300+ users and the need has come about to create alerts for changes in certain criteria. I'm using Power Automate to do this but seem to be very restricted in what I can class as a threshold.
Is there a way I create an alert based on any change, rather than above or below a certain number? If not, I would have to reset the threshold every time it deviated which would outweigh the benefit of the alert itself.
Thank you,
Ben

Hi @Anonymous
I'm wondering whether u are looking for the subscribe function.

Hi @Anonymous
Please note that tile refresh is based on the data changed:
Power BI maintains a cache for every tile visual on your dashboards and proactively updates the tile caches when data changes. In other words, tile refresh happens automatically following a data refresh. This is true for both, scheduled and on-demand refresh operations. You can also force a tile refresh by selecting More options (...) in the upper right of a dashboard and selecting Refresh dashboard tiles.

Hi @v-diye-msft
Not quite, it's definitely the same function but I would need it to run only when the data changed not when only refreshed. Thank you though. 🙂

Hi @v-diye-msft ,
This could possibly be the answer if what you are saying is the tile doesn't refresh unless there is a data change. That way, would I be able to set a notification on a tile refresh rather than a specific threshold?
Hello @Anonymous
Just a thought you can create multiple alerts for the same card hope it helps and solves your problem!
@Anonymous ,The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.
I am assuming power Bi alert not working for you -https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/service-set-data-alerts
Appreciate your Kudos.
hi @amitchandak , thank you for coming back to me.
what I mean to ask is, are there more options other than Above/Below in the condition box shown in the picture?
Hello @Anonymous
Currently, we have only 2 options available for the alerts.
What we can try doing is using REST API but I am not sure if that will work.
Data Alerts and all the templates with Power Automate
Data Alerts

I thought that might be the case.
I will eagerly wait to see if this changes any time soon, would explode the use of Power Bi within my company.
