We'd like to have a button that you can put on your dashboard in order to trigger a dataset/dashboard refresh. That way we can always work with the latest data.
We have configured the scheduled update but it is not quite working out for us.
Thank you!

RE: Button that updates datasets and dashboard

Can you share more information/elaborate on this?

There are ways to refresh data by just clicking a button or scheduling a refresh.

If you are using something like SQL Server to connect to Power BI, you can use DirectQuery and have updated/latest data all the time.
