I would like to suggest to have an option to disable/enable the Date Updated date shown on every report. Because users cannot set the option to have Power BI to refresh on a specific day of the month, the day the data refresh may be different from the date the data was actually ran. For instance, if I ran a report on the 1st of each month the data would be as of the 1st. But if I set Power BI to run on random days, the Date Updated date would differ from the actual date the data was pulled.

RE: Allow Disable/Enable Date Updated Date

We need the option to remove from view the refresh information at the top of every report. Users are very confused because that refresh does not represent truly when fresh data is populated into the data models. This is a must have feature that should be as simple at a toggle key.

Same as another user, we use live data refreshed daily in a AAS model, but this date creates confusion for the users...

RE: Allow Disable/Enable Date Updated Date

I’m also facing the same issue, Data is loading on every month of 6th in DB, and Power BI doesn’t have monthly refresh frequency so, that we have scheduled weekly refresh. If the latest load is Jan in reports but the Data updated date shows March date. It is misleading the information and creating confusion to users.

RE: Allow Disable/Enable Date Updated Date

In my case we are connected to AAS models, so the data is "live", but the "Data uptaded:" shows the last data refresh from somewhen in Nov. last year. Besides that, for the data behind the AAS we have a daily ETL and a datetime stamp written on the DB which we show in the report. The users are confused by this misleading information.
