Once you make a Q&A query, you can pin the resulting visual back to the dashboard, and that dashboard will also update in real-time.

Once a visual is pinned to a dashboard, you can use Q&A to ask questions of the push dataset in natural language.

Pinning an entire report using the pin live page option will not result in the data automatically being updated.

There are two considerations to note about pinned tiles from a push dataset:

Within the service, the dashboard is triggering a tile refresh every time new data is received. On that dashboard, visuals update in real-time whenever the data is updated. Once a report is created using the push dataset, any of its visuals can be pinned to a dashboard. These reports and their visuals are just like any other report visuals, which means you can use all of Power BI's report building features to create visuals, including Power BI visuals, data alerts, pinned dashboard tiles, and more. Since there is an underlying database that continues to store the data as it comes in, reports can be created with the data. When the dataset is created, the Power BI service automatically creates a new database in the service to store the data. With a push dataset, data is pushed into the Power BI service.

There are three types of real-time datasets, which are designed for display on real-time dashboards:įirst let's understand how these datasets differ from one another (this section), then we discuss how to push data into those each of these datasets. First, it's important to understand the types of real-time datasets that are designed to display in tiles (and dashboards), and how those datasets differ.

This article shows you how to set up real-time streaming dataset in Power BI. The devices and sources of streaming data can be factory sensors, social media sources, service usage metrics, or many other time-sensitive data collectors or transmitters.

Any visual or dashboard created in Power BI can display and update real-time data and visuals. Power BI with real-time streaming lets you stream data and update dashboards in real time.
