Hi All,
I have a table in the SQL Server database and I have a date field (DOS). I loaded the data from this table into PBI Desktop. I created 2 parameters RangeStart and RangeEnd ( set the values as 01/01/2024 and 01/01/2025) respectively. Clicked on close&apply. In the data pane right clicked and selected Incremental Refresh and I am getting the below message. Please advice
Thanks
@bkan Please check datatype of your Date Column on which you are trying to apply incremental refresh.
Thanks for the reply from lbendlin , please allow me to provide another insight:
Hi,@bkan
Could you please let us know if lbendlin's response resolved your issue? If it did, kindly accept it as the solution.
You may want to note that if there are issues with your parameter configuration, you might have overlooked the need to apply filters to the required columns. Below is a screenshot from the official documentation for your reference:

Parameters must be datetime type, not date. Adjust in Power Query Editor.
@lbendlin thanks
still the same message. Is there some kind of feature that I need to turn on in the desktop?
Check the parameter names for trailing spaces .
Show the Power Query code where you use these parameters.
