It very annoying having to re-draw every dashboard that uses a specific report. It would be nice having automatic refresh of the dashboard tile when I change a report involved.

RE: Refresh dashboards tiles when i change a report

Couldn't agree more. If you have like 50 dashboards it's very bothersome to repin every changed visual. Personnaly, I would really like to see that the title of a pinned visual stays connected with the tile. Then you can make the title dynamic too by conditional formatting.

In general, I don't understand why Microsoft is so reluctant to improve the dashboard experience. For a lot of companies a dashboard page contains a summary of how they are performing.

This is seriously a big pain. As I need my dashboard to refresh daily to show at a glance data as at Today, but hey! its not happening. Also it will be nice to add flexibility of turning Header or logo off when in Dashboard LIVE PIN.

RE: Refresh dashboards tiles when i change a report

This is very frustrating. I have over a hundred dashboards organized into years our franchises have opened. If i make a change, i have to delete and add again. Such a waste of time. This seems basic to me, the idea that you will never make a formatting or filter change to a report visualization is 1990s thinking. This is a must.

RE: Refresh dashboards tiles when i change a report

This is starting to be a very annoying action every time I change the underlying report format

Any movement on this? Absolutely crucial functionality IMHO

I have several clients complaining about this very thing. This is the main reason why some of my clients have not moved forward with Power BI.

Every week when I load data I'm deleting 50 tiles from different dashboards and re creating them again I think after 4 years of dashboard someone in Microsoft can solve this problem.
How many years it need to be under review.

RE: Refresh dashboards tiles when i change a report

PLEASE please fix this! It's really time-consuming, repetitive, and a waste of time to have to redo the dashboard tiles.

Definitely Agree. We need this feature.
