Configure Incremental Refresh in Power BI with Power BI Pro License

In this video, we will learn about the configuration process for Incremental Refresh in Power BI. Here, we will take an example of real-life data where the data source is supported Query Scaffolding.
With February 2020 update, Incremental Refresh is available with Power BI Pro license. So, you can leverage this feature with your report.
We will define two date parameters - Range Start and Range End to configure incremental refresh.
Then we need to define the period range for the data which you wish to have for the first time when you publish your report to Power BI Service. Then we need to set the interval for the refresh period where you need to define how much time period you wish to consider for your incremental refresh. At last, we will test the incremental refresh with different use cases.
Here you will learn the following concepts.
Real life example for Incremental Refresh: 0:58
Query Scaffolding for Incremental Refresh: 03:00
How to check if my data source is supported Incremental Refresh or not? 04:01
Define Parameters for Incremental Refresh 04:44

    I believe, here you are talking about the default date which I set in RangeEnd parameter correct? It's just a default value. Once we publish report and configure Incremental refresh parameter - Store Rows and Refresh Rows, it will take those value dynamically from there. Please correct me if I misunderstood here anything.

    hi Dhruv.. This is video which i was looking for. I have one query, when i am trying to publish my PBIX file putting incremental refresh using MS Sql database. It is not showing the complete Data. Even i have tried 1st publishing the report without Incremental refresh. At that point of time, i was getting complete data but as soon as i publish same incremental PBIX, old data disappeared. can you please help me in this? This is important for my project which already went live.

    if we keep adding more and more rows on incremental refresh, how to handle the size issue of 1GB?

  • @MKJainStatistics

    @MKJainStatistics

    3 жыл бұрын

    Refresh data size limits are 1 GB for compressed data and 10 GB for uncompressed. In my opinion, size of refresh data will only matter. That is why incremental refresh come into picture, with enhancement in faster refresh. Certainly file size shall also matter, there you need to limit the data anyway, but i think it is decent amount of data. Second, try to optimize your pbi file, search for how to reduce size.

    You can implement incremental refresh in Power Query without any of these complicated steps and it will work on any data set, not only on query-foldable.

And then I need to append table1 and table 2. And then uncheck 'enable load' for table 1 and include in report refresh. So while you are refreshing, the table 1 also will refresh the 5 years of data right? because you have selected include in report refresh. So it doesn't come under increment refresh right?
