Store Now() in a variable using the timer control. Then have the timer set to autorepeat. Use the variable in other places where you would use Now(). Each time the timer cycles it will update.

Created a timer: OnTimerEnd = Set( CurrentDateTime, Now() ) every 1 second
Then, a label to show the timer in real time: Text = Text(CurrentDateTime, LongTime24)
But, the label shows only the timer and not the date. How to show the date?

Use LongDateTime or ShortDateTime for the format instead of LongTime

works well in powerapps - Thank you! But, on embedding this app in powerbi - timer does not auto refresh. I have to refresh the browser.
I do have a reset button on apps, how can i add timer refresh when user clicks on 'reset' button?

I would ask that in the Power BI or Integration forum. I'm not an expert on Power BI so I don't know.
