Is there a way I can let users know that they might not be looking at up to date data?

Scenario
You’ve created a chart or report and users have said that the data doesn’t look accurate. It could be because the data is out of date and they’ve not refreshed the dashboard/ report recently.
Solution
You could use a variable in the chart or report title that will let a user know when the data was last refreshed. In this example, we’ve used a Magic Variable of [[TODAY]] but you could also use something like [[START_OF_WEEK]].
This is how the Variable would be displayed on the dashboard.
If the same Variable was added to a chart title in a report
This is how it would appear in the report itself
