    Open the CloudMonitor App in Power BI to get started. You may notice that the data is out of date - this could be because Scheduled Daily Refreshes are turned off. We can manually refresh it or turn on the Daily Refresh.
    Click "Go back" on the bottom left of the CloudMonitor application to go to the list of Power BI apps that you have installed.
    Click "Apps"
    Find your CloudMonitor App and click on the 3 ellipses dots to show the menu and click on "Edit"
    Find the CloudMonitor Dataset and click on the Refresh icon to initiate a manual refresh of the dataset. A little moving icon will appear to show you that the dataset is being refreshed. This can take between 10 and 60 minutes depending on the size of your Azure estate.
    Once the Dataset has finished refreshing, open the CloudMonitor app and click on the Refresh Visuals icon in the top right (this does not cause a Dataset refresh, it just refreshes the state of the UI)
    At the bottom of the Executive Summary Dashboard you can see the date of the most recent cost records and when it was last refreshed. Your report should now be up to date!
    The above steps showed how to manually refresh the report as a once-off. You can also also turn on Scheduled Refresh to have the report updated automatically every day.
