Budget table Issue - duplicate amount instead of update
Hi experts,
I am working in one financial project, that there is a table called budget and the amount of the budget could be change anytime.
I am struggling with refreshing data, because when the "budget amount" changed, the power bi understand that is a new transaction and not a update of the collumn. As you can see in the following example:
Budget table
CODE |COMPANY NAME |CODE |AMOUNT |COMP_CODE|DOC_NO |TRAN_DATE |TRAN_DESC
FABI |FABI NAME |BUDGET.FABI.2016 |369 |XXX |XXXX |01-Jul-16 |Period Balance budget transaction
Alteration the budget instead of 369 is 400. The power bi understand 2 different transaction instead of just update the amount.
CODE |COMPANY NAME |CODE |AMOUNT |COMP_CODE |DOC_NO|TRAN_DATE |TRAN_DESC
FABI |FABI NAME |BUDGET.FABI.2016 |369 |XXX |XXXX |01-Jul-16 |Period Balance budget transaction
FABI |FABI NAME |BUDGET.FABI.2016 |400 |XXX |XXXX |01-Jul-16 |Period Balance budget transaction
Note: The only collumn that was changed is "Amount"
Also,I`m using the API to get the data and unfortunatelly I can`t share it because is a confidential data.
Is there is any solution that I can use to the power bi just update the amount without create a new row?
Thanks

fabiolamelo , Ideally power bi refresh should overwrite the data. I think you are getting two rows from the source.
you can refer to this blog , if this can help
