Hello,
we've faced a major issue with Power BI reports.
Our client has some reports online that are connected with a live connection to their on-premise SSAS cube (currently Multi-Dimensional, not Tabular) on SQL Server 2016.
We refresh the cube twice a day (it's finished at approximately 18:45 CET an 09:45 CET). When the end-user logins to PBI online at 9:50 CET and opens a report, we would expect that he would see the latest data (refreshed at 09:45 CET), but this isn't the case.
It is not acceptable for them to wait another 15 minutes for the data to refresh (and I'm not even sure that this works). This is a major deal-braker for lots of our other customers, and we won't be able to use Power BI for them in the future, if we can't solve this issue.
How can we force Power BI to refresh reports at some point (with a web-service call after ETL process or something like that), or that the report automatically (without pressing the Refresh button) gets refreshed when the user opens the report?
Thank you in advance.
