Hello,
It is my impression that these are two of the valid data connection options for Power BI / Azure Analysis Services:
[1] - Power BI <-> Connect Live <-> AAS <-> DirectQuery <-> Azure SQL Source
[2] - Power BI <-> Connect Live <-> AAS In-Memory Tabular DB <-> Scheduled Refresh Process <-> Azure SQL Source
I have tested scenario [1], and the Power BI Service dashboard refreshes instantly when I refresh the browser after Azure SQL Source changes as I expect.
When I test scenario [2], I run the scheduled refresh process, and I confirm the AAS data was refreshed with DAX EVALUATE() query. However, the Power BI Service dashboard does not refresh ... unless I go to the published dataset and click "Refresh Now", or select "More ..." -> "Refresh" on the tile. Is this expected behavior for Connect Live?
Thanks in advance for an information anyone can provide.
Cheers.
