Incremental refresh parameters "We couldn't parse the input provided as a DateTime value"

I am trying to set up a incremental refresh of a datset in the service. I have a merged query that I am filtering on "Start Time", which is a datetime column. It works fine in PB Desktop but when I upload to the service and try to refresh I get the below error:

 

Data source error{"error":{"code":"ModelRefresh_ShortMessage_ProcessingError","pbi.error":{"code":"ModelRefresh_ShortMessage_ProcessingError","parameters":{},"details":[{"code":"Message","detail":{"type":1,"value":"We couldn't parse the input provided as a DateTime value."}}],"exceptionCulprit":1}}}

 

Is there anyway of knowing which column this error message applies too?

  • psteve , your datetime column is not getting the correct value. Open data transformation it should show you the error. Try to change data type and check

    Hi psteve ,

     

    It means Power BI can't recognize the input value as date value.

    it could get the wrong date format. 

    5/22/2020(Month/Day/Year) correct

    5/22/2020(Day/Month/Year) wrong
