    Incremental refresh and real-time data for datasets

    Incremental refresh extends scheduled refresh operations by providing automated partition creation and management for dataset tables that frequently load new and updated data. With incremental refresh, the service dynamically partitions and separates data that needs to be refreshed frequently from data that can be refreshed less frequently. Table data is filtered by using Power Query date/time parameters with the reserved, case-sensitive names RangeStart and RangeEnd. 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 and optionally a real-time DirectQuery partition 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...
