Data refresh how to exclude a table with static data

[Anonymous]

Hello All,

  I have a report that will display tranactional date from 2019 to current. All of this data is in a table called ShoppingCart. The historical data from 2019 to 2021 will never change.  Currently, when I run my report refresh, it appears to pull all of the daa from the table; during each refresh. So when I refresh the data four times a day, it pulls in all the data from ShoppingCart back to 2019.  I want to improve my report performance by pulling in the data from 2019 to 2021 once, and then have it refresh the data from 2022. How do I accomplish this goal? Is there a way to pull in just the changed records?

Cheers,

Peter

Static =  ( date <= 31Dec2021)  with refresh turned off

Hello,

   Thank you for your reply. Regarding the statement below:

Static =  ( date <= 31Dec2021)  with refresh turned off

1. Is this a Dax or Power Query command?

2. How do I appy it to a table?

3. "with refresh turned off" - How do I turn refresh off for a single table?

Thanks!

Peter

Hi @Anonymous ,

In power query editor, you need have two queries to the specifical table.

1 Uncheck the include in report refresh and Enable load of the first part.

2 Append the first part to the second part.

So, the table will only refresh the second part in power bi model.

No, this doesn't work. If you do this, the next time the semantic model updates, on schedule, it will override & try to update & cause errors.

This will NOT work in Power Query for excell
