Incremental Refresh Questions

Hello, community,

 

I have a question about applying incremental updates. When we apply the update and select the monthly period, the range is set from 11/01 to 11/30.

 

If I select the period in days, it will update the data from the last 31 days.

 

 

I would like to understand why this occurs and which option I should choose.

    yes, those are tiny partitions. Select 2 months.

  • how many rows would you have in the monthly partition? How many in the quarterly and yearly?

     

    Ultimately the question is - can you successfully refresh a particular partition within the 5 hour hard limit?  If you can't then select the next lower granularity that can do it.

      hi lbendlin
       
      i'am Maintaining 2 years of information. My semantic model updates once per day, and the update occurs after the fact tables’ jobs are completed. For performance optimization, would it be better to select 2 months instead of 30 days?



      Monthly Partition:

       433,333 rows.

      Quarterly Partition:

      Approximately 1.3 million rows per quarter.

      Annual Partition:

      About 5.2 million rows per year.
