Incremental refresh with condition

Hi,

 

The current refresh time for Power BI file is almost 50 mins. We need to apply incremental refresh with two conditions:

On weekdays, it should refresh current as well as previous month data and on weekend, it should refresh the entire dataset. We are using SQL server database. Is it possible to achieve this in Power BI desktop?

 

Thanks,

Rinku

, if you really want to use incremental refresh and full refresh in turn, you must have a PPU license or above. You can refer to the following link for the specific configuration method:

@patilpoonam21 , We can do such things in Microsoft Fabric. But I doubt that in Power BI using standard incremental UI
