conniedevina , RangeStart, and RangeEnd what we create in power Query are for the initial Range?

for incremental, this 7 days should work. can share settings for those two parameters

Hi amitchandak ,

so here is the parameter that I've created

 

And here is the power query on my table that initiate the parameter

= Table.SelectRows(#"Renamed Columns1", each [Date created] > RangeStart and [Date created] <= RangeEnd)

Is it possible because the timezone problem? But I checked on some post they said the timezone based on scheduled refresh time that I've set, which is for me I am using Singapore time which same as the Date created

    I'm just refreshed again today (25th Nov 2021) 

    And my 22nd data also not inside.. is it because I put the RangeEnd parameter to 22nd Nov 2021 12:00:00 AM? while I upload the data is more than 12:00:00 AM..

    And I tried to upload the data at 24th Nov 2021 also it seems ignored by the refresh.. the refresh only until 21st Nov 2021.

      Hi conniedevina ,

       

      Your understanding of storage and refresh date settings is correct.

      And according to this document, the RangeStart and RangeEnd parameters only implement on first refresh.

      https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/incremental-refresh-overview#:~:text=When%20initially%20configuring,for%20each%20row. 

      When initially configuring incremental refresh in Power BI Desktop, the parameters are used to filter only a small period of data to be loaded into the model. When published to the service, with the first refresh operation, the service creates incremental refresh and historical partitions based on incremental refresh policy settings, and then overrides the parameter values to filter and query data for each partition based on date/time values for each row.

      The options that affect the refresh process are detect-data-changes and only-refresh-complete-days . Please check if your situation is related to these two options.

       

      Best Regards,

      Jay
