DAX code
Last Refresh Date =
MAX('RefreshInfo'[RefreshTimestamp])DAX Last Refresh Date Measure
Shows the date and time the dataset was last refreshed, rather than the current live time.
My table names
Type your table and column names once. Every measure below updates.
Notes
Measures using NOW() directly re-evaluate live, not at refresh time. Instead, add a one-row 'RefreshInfo' table with a calculated column RefreshTimestamp = NOW() - calculated columns are fixed at refresh time, which is what actually freezes the value.
Requirements
- A small helper table with a NOW()-based calculated column.
How to use this measure
- In Power BI Desktop, select the table that should hold the measure and choose New measure on the ribbon.
- Paste the code, then replace the placeholder table and column names with your own. The My table names fields above do this for you.
- Run it through the DAX Formatter if you want it laid out in your team's style.
