Hi,
I came across an issue with "Data Updated" timestamp which appears by default at the top of a published PowerBI app. It changes every time a report owner republishes a report (which is not only in case when new data is loaded). In my experience, it confuses the users so I imbedded my own data refresh timestamp information in my published reports. However, the users can still see the default "Data Updated" timestamp and there is no way to hide it from them. It is causing some questions from the users on the what this means and so no. It would be the best if the "Data Updated" timestamp could be hidden by a report owner. Can you do that?

RE: Enabling Hiding Data Updated timestamp in PowerBI App
Hi,It would be great to get rid of (or at least to have the possibility to hide it) the data updated timestamp in PowerBi app as it confuses the users.Thanks a lot. Greetings from France.
RE: Enabling Hiding Data Updated timestamp in PowerBI App
Can you please post this item in the new backlog or planned list, when can we expect this. Is really confusing for the users. Thanks!
RE: Enabling Hiding Data Updated timestamp in PowerBI App
Echo everyone else on here - need the option to remove this as it doesn't coincide with actual data refresh schedule, which also is not the same across all reports (some are refreshed more frequently than others).
RE: Enabling Hiding Data Updated timestamp in PowerBI App
this is a huge problem for us.... confusing to our customers. and the date can reflect the report update and/or the actually underlying data update..... please turn off for individual reports!!!!
RE: Enabling Hiding Data Updated timestamp in PowerBI App
This is causing confusion for us as well. I publish data to Azure Blob storage and have PowerBI read it from there. PowerBI reads from Blob storage on a daily basis and "Data Updated" shows the time on which this occurs. However, we don't refresh Blob storage on the same cadence...therefore, "Data Updated" misrepresents when we actually pushed up data. Please provide an option that allows us to hide this at our discretion.

This data updated on in title bar for that reports that use On prem data gateway, with direct query.
RE: Enabling Hiding Data Updated timestamp in PowerBI App
Really love to take off the Data updated in title bar. It really making users think our reports are VERY OLD
RE: Enabling Hiding Data Updated timestamp in PowerBI App
Also, the date is in a format that is known to be unreliable (is it mm/dd/yy or dd/mm/yy?). Users who haven't set their browser format to their local preference could easily get confused by this too.It can cause such confusion and distrust amongst users who are not data/IT savvy.
RE: Enabling Hiding Data Updated timestamp in PowerBI App
Hi Team,Please consider this as an important issue, as developers we have to explain everyone asking the reason for the date in the Data Updated section on power bi service. Would be best to give some flexibility options or disable option.
RE: Enabling Hiding Data Updated timestamp in PowerBI App
This is badly needed! I end up having to put a disclaimer on the DBs explaining why the "Date Updated" at the top of the page does not represent the date the data is through. This causes A LOT of confusion.
