Incremental Refresh on csv files from sharepoint folder

Hi,

I am trying to do incremental refresh based on file name (.csv files) from sharepoint. It's a sharepoint folder where we have all the files in this format "monthly_cost_hourly_2021-01, monthly_cost_hourly_2021-02 etc.,". I want to retain last two years of .csv files but refresh runs only for current month. Do you've anything handy based on my requirement?  

Regards,

Laiq

HI @KNP 

 

It works perfect. Thank you so much. Any chance if we can do the same in dataflow. It's asking datetime field should exist while configuring incremental load.

 

Regards,

Laiq

You'll need to convert your date field to a datetime, or duplicate it and convert to datetime so you have a field to configure the IR policy on.

Incremental refresh doesn't work for sharepoint or CSV. Think about switching to another data source that supports incremental refresh.
