Incremental refresh on a column with 'date' format

Hello,

I am trying to configure incremental refresh on a table. I have configured 'RangeStart' and 'RangeEnd' parameters. Now I want to apply filter using these parameters on a Column named 'Sent date' which is of date format, so I am unable to apply the filters. What do I need to do? Please note the column 'Sent date' has relationship with another table hence I cannot change its format to datetime in Power Query.

 

Thank you in anticipation.

Regards,

Pushkar

Duplicate the column and set the data type of the new column and use that for your incremental refresh.
As a side note/bonus, I typically use a DateKey in the format "yyyyMMdd" as my column to use for relationships with Date table.

Please @mention me in your reply if you want a response.
