Incremental Refresh issue?

[ffunky]

Hi all, I've setup incremental refresh on a large dataset and it's working great. However, when I built the report, at one point, I created a reference to the main table, and then used that reference table for another tab. That other table isn't refreshing though. I've tried to setup new parameters and it's own incremental refresh policy, but it just tells me to setup parameters (which I've done). Any suggestions on how to get that table to refresh now?

hi, @ffunky 

You should set up the incremental refresh for other table too.

I did try that.  I setup the datetime column, applied two new parameters to that table, and when I right click to configure Incremental Refresh on it, it tells me to setup parameters for that table.  I can't figure out why it won't see the parameters that I've put in there.

Found the fix via this post:

Once I read that post, I realized that I can have the parameters use the same date range, and then when I implement the refresh policy on the second table, I can specify the retention rules there.
