How to only import the updated data not the whole dataset

‎12-06-2017 08:38 AM

I need bring 3-month data from sql server to power bi desktop. Each time when I refresh, it will read the whole query for those 3 months to current date, which takes almost 30 minute.

Is that the way I don't need read the data that already in power BI desktop and only read the new updated data into power bi desktop? Any thought will be helpful. Thanks so much

Hi @JulietZhu,

 

I'm afraid there isn't a direct way for now. Please vote on this idea. This feature is already planned.

 

Best Regards,

Dale

Hi @JulietZhu, if you can share with us the Power Query script that loads your data, we would be in a better position to help you.
