Dataset Last Refreshed date as "Parameter" in workbook.

Rajakumar Burra

There is no good way to display the last refresh date in workbook.

We need to create a Column in Dataset and display.

Instead can we have standard "Parameter" like Current Time, Current Date .

Unlike Current Date/Time, a Refresh timestamp is specific to each dataset entity and only applies to cached entities. The best approach is to have a column based on the relevant data that is being refreshed. The column can be queried from a parameter and displayed (which is what I assume you are already doing).

We will look into adding the last refresh date into the catalog API, but it might be slower to retrieve than a simple column.
