    Hi seenukancharla 

    I'm not clear about your requirement.

    when data changing in source, refresh if from Power BI Desktop, it would append changed data under orignal data as below, right?

        Hi seenukancharla 

        Indeed, when refreshing from Power BI Desktop, it would refresh to get the result you expected in Power BI.

        But it is not an incremental refresh. It just reflects the whole new data from data source.
