Project Management Institute (PMI)® Professional Development Units (PDUs):
This Webinar is eligible for 1 PMI® PDUs in the Technical category of the Talent Triangle.
Event Description:
Project Online provides many powerful reporting tools and is a treasure trove of information. However, many organizations have other data sources that affect or otherwise influence the data from Project. It is common to have other internal or external data sources that, when combined with Project data provides a richer source of information. While the core of the data might be from Project Online there may be other data sources that can be combined to present a fuller portrait. This presentation is about setting up Project Online to have the right data but then about combining that data with other data sources into a visual dashboard. This can make decision making a bit easier as decision-makers don’t have to look into one system for one set of data and another system for another set of data and then combine those in their head with scheduling data. With the data combined into one dashboard all the key metrics from all of the systems can be used together.

I am seeing the same data like when I just setup the content pack. I tried the simple refresh on the menu but that is not working.
Collin Quiring
When the originating data changes, selecting the Refresh from the ribbon in Power BI will refresh the data. When you say that it is “not working” can you better define what you expected and what you got?
Desiree Williams
I have deleted some projects in project online and clicked on the “Refresh Dashboard Tiles” in PowerBI and I am not seeing a change in the project count.
Much Thanks
Collin Quiring
I am wondering about a few things. The first is the browser you are using. Some browsers do not give an error message, they just don’t do anything when you hit the “refresh” buttons (or most of the buttons). So, first thing I would do is try this in another browser. Another option is that sometimes from the time you hit refresh until the time it actually refreshes is up to 15 minutes. I suggest that you put in the refresh time on the pages in the dashboard and use that as a guide. Third, do you have permissions to refresh the data? If so, what happens if you go to the report and refresh? Does the data change there? If it does, then maybe the dashboard and the report page(s) that the dashboard came from originally are no longer in sync (for example, the type of visual could have changed). Let me know how that works out for you!
