# Why Doesn't My Dashboard Display the Data I Expect?

If you’re not seeing the data that you expect, refresh for the latest data, check that you have the right running user, and verify your dashboard data sources.

If your dashboard data doesn't look as you expect, check the following:

- Running user: Remember that you're viewing the dashboard from the perspective of the running user. What you see is based on that user's access rights. For dynamic dashboards, you can only see what you yourself can access.
- Refresh Dashboard: If you’re viewing old data, click **Refresh** to refresh your dashboard.
- Data sources: Verify that your data sources (reports, s-controls, or Visualforce pages) contain the information you want displayed in the dashboard.

For further information regarding dashboard running user and dashboard refresh, review the articles [Choose a Dashboard Running User](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.dashboards_select_running_user.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "To specify which data to display in a dashboard, select a running user.") and [Refresh Dashboard Data](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.dashboards_refresh.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "To get the most current data, refresh a dashboard at any time. The refresh updates the results for every user who has access to the dashboard. Changing filters on a dashboard also refreshes the dashboard, unless there’s existing cached data. You can view when the dashboard was last refreshed under Last Refreshed.").
