Alert is not triggering when the current value is same as prior value. We need an option under notification frequency settings like “Every Dataset refresh”. This option will trigger Alert when the current numeric value meets the condition on every data refresh irrespective of data changes or not.

Hi all. Thanks for your feedback and comments! We've recently released Data Activator which lets you set up alerts across a variety of data sources, including Power BI reports, and includes the ability to alert every time a value is detected above/below a threshold, not just when the data changes.

You can find out more at https://aka.ms/dataActivatorBlog. It's currently in Public Preview, available to anyone with access to Fabric (details on how to get started are in the blog). We are actively monitoring the Ideas forum for feedback, so please submit Ideas tagged with Data Activator. We're particularly interested in your requirements around the business conditions and logic that you want to detect, like this idea!

You can also find out more on our Community forum at https://aka.ms/dataActivatorCommunity

I'm leaving this idea as Planned while we work to get Data Activator to a 'General Availability' stage, at which point I'll close it. Thank you!

RE: Alert Feature - Option to trigger Alert irrespective of data changes or not

The essence of the 'alerts's is sending notifications when the data is above the threshold.

Currently, Power Bi says: "'alerts's are only sent if your data changes", this has to be an option (checkbox).

The default behaviour should be: "'alerts' if the value is above the threshold".
