Incremental Refresh in Power BI: Handling Historical Data Updates Beyond the 2-Day Delta

Hello, we plan to set up an incremental refresh. The history is over two years and the desired delta to refresh the data is 2 days. However, historical data can sometimes be updated and modified. What happens if my delta is two days and tomorrow data from a year ago is updated?
Thx !!!!

Hello @Anonymous ,

 

if you performed an incremental refresh for the last two days and your historical data gets updated, then the update won't be reflected in your power bi.

If I use the "Detect data changes" option, can I set this option for the last two years? Will this meet my needs?
