Recently i try to use the function - Incremental refresh and i follow the following tutorial step by step.

Suggested values: any value

Current Value: my selected date (eg. 10/10/2020 )

 

the Queries shown that:

Expression.Error: We cannot convert a value of type Binary to type DateTime.
Details:
Value=[Binary]
