Do I need to setup Incremental Refresh for datasets using Dataflows as source

Hi,

I am using a table from Dataflow as a source, which has 10 GB of data. I have setup an incremental refresh for dataflow. My question here is if I do not setup incremental refresh for the dataset in which I am using the same table from Dataflow, will the dataset do a full refresh of the table? Do I need to set up both the dataset and the dataflow incremental refresh?

Thanks,
SP

Hey @SaiPraveen , @

The answer to your question is "Yes, the dataset will do a full refresh every time". To avoid that you need configure a dataset incremental refresh (Configure incremental refresh and real-time data for Power BI datasets - Power BI | Microsoft Learn).
