Hi there,
Recently i try to use the function - Incremental refresh and i follow the following tutorial step by step.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/service-premium-incremental-refresh
however, I found a problem and cant solve it. I get data source from my folder and get a huge number of CSV file.
after I open the manage parameters and set the
Type: Date and Time
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]
Type=[Type]
and:
Expression.Error: The parameter is expected to be of type Text.Type or Binary.Type.
Details:
29/10/2020 0:00:00
how to solve thsi problem or incremental refrsh cant apply to get data source: folder??
