incremental load

I am pulling 67 million records from an AS400/DB2 flat file.  I break it up into 5 tables in my PBI.  I would like to use incremental refresh, the question is if doing it by date, do I need to have the same date field in all five tables or will PBI refresh all the tables based on the date in the one table?

    Hi Rsteinke ,

     

    Flat files do not support query folding.
    So all data must always be loaded through Power BI.
    No real incremental refresh.
