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
The same issue as Shannon. We are querying an on-prem TABAS model through the Power BI service. The refresh schedule and "data updated" timestamp have no use for us in that situation and confuses the users completely. We currently have own own timestamp we show on the app so the ability to turn this off for a workspace would be incredibly useful.
RE: Enabling Hiding Data Updated timestamp in PowerBI App
We have a dataset that's using direct query and the default date on the top is very very confusing to a lot of people. I agree that we need an option to be able to turn it off especially for DQ sources.

This is crucial, is very misleading and honestly i think its bonkers microsoft havent changed this yet.

This also affects reports that are using a direct query - as the data updated stamp does not update with direct query. This confuses users of the report as they believe the data is stale when it is in fact querying directly from the source db. The ability to hide this would be a useful feature.
