what is power bi premium

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-premium

This should explain it.  Pricing starts around the $5,000 USD per month mark.

There isn't one.  Incremental refresh is very new and still considered a preview feature.  So far they have only released the version for Premium.  No other option exists within Power BI itself.

Hey @panipat1990,

so it seems, that the most essential part is missing to utilize the benefits of incremetal refresh - the Power BI Premium dedicated capacity. This is what I mentioned in my first reply.

But MSFT already mentioned that they are considering to make this feature available for Power BI Pro users.

Be aware of the two things:

• there is no date available when Incremental Refresh will be available for Power BI Pro
• Incremental Refresh will never work in Power BI Desktop

Hey @panipat1990,

I guess this will get you started with your question "What is Power BI Report Server?":

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/get-started

Read this carefully and until the end and also read

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/compare-report-server-service

Please be aware that for now a separate Power BI Desktop version is needed

• to save Power BI reports
• created with Power BI Desktop
• to Power BI Report Server

Please accept one of @Anonymous or mine answers regarding the incremental refresh issues as an answer and start a new thread regarding the different products.

I also urgently recommend to read the free ebook "Power BI from Rookie to Rock Star" that is available here:

Hey,

as @Anonymous already mentioned, Power BI Desktop is a self-service BI tool that can be used for the following two aspects

• personal data anaylsis
• development tool to author (publish) reports to Power BI service

Certain tasks of the above mentioned aspects may overlap

I urgently recommend to get accquainted with Power BI Service:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-get-started

Read this carefully until the end also follow recommended next readings.

For now Incremental Refresh is a feature that is supported just by Power BI Premiumn (one licensing sku) from the Power BI Service offering. The configuration of Incremental Refresh is one of the tasks of the two aspects of Power BI Desktop

Tom
