Real-time updating of the data has a huge impact on the business. You don’t have to wait for long hours to get quick insight.
Power BI(Read about last updates) is making real-time streaming possible by providing amazing features.
These features can be used to monitor, manage, and control content creation. So, while users are actively creating the content, it is updated immediately on a dashboard and others can view it right away.
If you update any data and visuals on the dashboard, it can be seen by users in real-time. However, doing this by using the tool may seem a little difficult. So, here is the article for your ease. Once you understand the benefits and features of Power BI real-time streaming, you can use it easily without any hurdles.
Types of datasets
If you are trying to understand how real-time streaming works, you must understand the data sets. These datasets are responsible for real-time analytics. There are 3 main types of datasets:
1. Push dataset
The push data set is to push the data into the Power BI. One creates a dataset and it further creates the database. However, there is an underline database that stores the data and reports. After the report is created using a push dataset, any of the visuals can be easily pinned on the dashboard. So, people can check it further easily.
2. Streaming dataset
The streaming dataset is for the data that has a transient sense of history and it expires early. It has no underline database to store the data, it also doesn’t provide the reporting functionality. However, the temporary cache can display the visuals. Create a streaming dataset and you can use the custom streaming data source. Further, they can be used to optimize the real-time data.
3. PubNub streaming dataset
PubNub streaming dataset helps in reading an existing PubNub data stream by using PubNub SDK. There is no data stored in the Power BI service. Since the call directly forms the Power Bi web client, it will require to list the traffic to PubNub.
Remember that both streaming datasets and PubNub datasets do not allow you to create reports. So, you have no advantage of filtering, using Power Bi visuals, and so on.
You must keep historic data analysis. As turning it off will not update the data in real-time unless you need to save some storage space. Also, there are three primary ways to push data into a dataset known as Power BI REST APIs, Streaming dataset UI, and Azure Stream Analytics.
