Hi!
Can anyone help me out with incremental refresh concepts in SharePoint.?
I have connected my data with SharePoint Folder connector and i want to set incremental refresh. But it is not working as expected.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @NiteshkrNishant ,
Thank you for engaging with the Microsoft Fabric Communit. Thanks to @Akash_Varuna , for sharing the helpful video and blog links with practical solutions.
The SharePoint Folder connector doesn't support query folding, which is crucial for Power BI's incremental refresh to function. Without query folding, filters like date ranges can't be applied to the data source, explaining why incremental refresh isn't working as expected.
As highlighted in the blog and video shared by @Akash_Varuna , there's an effective way to simulate incremental refresh using Power Query and parameters.
For Additional :
You can also refer to Microsoft’s official documentation to understand how incremental refresh and query folding work in detail.
