Dears ,
I have a question :
if i don't have date column in my fact table for example so can i setup incremental refresh ?
Thank you
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @ahmedshalabyy12 ,
To do incremental refresh you must have a DateTime field. You cannot do incremental refresh without it. And, when you set up the incremental refresh you pick the field that you want to use.

Hi @ahmedshalabyy12,
Have you had an opportunity to review the solution we provided by @collinq? At this time, it is not possible to set up incremental refresh without a date column.
Thank you.
