Adding only new data from separate txt-files to combined table

Hi,

 

I have a number of .txt files that are loaded to Power BI to a combined table.

All files have identical columns. The filename is the same, except for the year:

Transactions 2000

Transactions 2001

....

Transactions 2019

 

How can i load data only from Transactions 2019 (current year) without reloading all previous years into

the combined table?

So this sort of functionality is known as incremental refresh. Unfortunately this functionality is only available at the moment on the Power BI Service in Premium Capacities see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-premium-incremental-refresh

 

You can't do this in Power BI Desktop or with just a Pro license on a shared capacity on PowerBI.com
