SQL - will the dashboard continue to pull the latest information?

Hi, this maybe a silly question but I am not an advanced user of SQL. If I use a custom SQL query as my dataset will the dashboard continue to pull the latest information into the dashboard from the queried I used initially please?

Hi @hmthack and welcome to the QuickSight community!

Using customSQL should not affect your ability to pull the latest data. How your dataset updates would be determined on if you setup as SPICE or Direct Query; for SPICE, you can setup scheduled incremental or full refreshes.
I’ve provided some documentation below that covers refreshing data in QuickSight for further review. Let me know if you have any additional questions!

Perfect I will take a look at the info provided thank you Brett and once again apologies I am not the best with SQL lol - Happy Friday!!

No need to apologize! If you encounter any additional issues, feel free to create a new post in the community!
