Incremental - Parameters Not Working

Hi,

I get the incremental refresh option when I right-click on the table, but it is off, and I can't enable it in the dialogbox. It says that I have to add paramaters to the dataset filter, but this has been done.

@HRM5 , Have you used them to filter the date column of the table? Only then it will work

Yes @amitchandak 

Absolutely, I have applied the custom filter onto that DateTime column and then I was able to see the Native Query as well but when I set up incremental on Table outside the Power Query it gives me error of no Parameters..

Any Help! ?

@HRM5 , I faced this issue in past and have no fixed resolution. I got rid sometime by doing some desc change in StartDate and enddate parameter.  If the setup is correct and it still does not work, I would like to check issues and log a new one if needed

Hi @amitchandak 

I have done everything, actually the data is 2.2 million rows and it takes lot of time to refresh and after applying Parameters

RangeStart (MM/DD/YYYY)

RangeEnd (MM/DD/YYYY)

and InvoiceDate (MM/DD/YYYY)
I then applied custom filter to the invoice Date and when I go to configure the Incremental Refresh it says No Parameters Defined..!!!

Hi @HRM5 ,

 

RangeStart and RangeEnd should be Date/Time , "mm/dd/yyyy hh:nn:ss AMPM"

 

Please refer this link.
