In this step-by-step tutorial by DataMinds Academy, you will learn how to show refresh date in Power BI and display the last data refresh time directly on your report.
When working with Power BI, it’s important for users to know when the data was last updated. Adding a refresh date ensures transparency, builds trust, and avoids confusion when working with scheduled refreshes or live connections.
In this video, we will cover two easy methods:
Using DAX – by creating a measure with the NOW() function to display the refresh date and time.
Using Power Query – by adding a parameter with DateTime.LocalNow() to capture the refresh timestamp.
We’ll also discuss formatting options, best practices, and where to place the refresh date in your report so that your audience can quickly see when the data was last refreshed.
By the end of this tutorial, you’ll be able to confidently display refresh dates in your Power BI dashboards and improve report usability.
