Incremental refresh won't enable

Hi all, 

 

I have a problem with incrementally refreshing a table and have no clue what I'm missing. 

Attached is a very easy pbix file I used to test, even this one I won't get to work. 

I have added two parameters & applied those as a filter to my table ("Testtable").

I am, however, still getting the error message "Before you can set up incremental refresh on this table, you need to set up parameters".

Thanks in advance! 

 

BR,

Thank you. This helped to solve my issue as well.

I have to follow the exact parameter name and data type for Incremental Refresh to turn on.

Hi @amitchandak ,

that's what I missed, I overread that it's a reserved name...

I also had to switch format from date to datetime, but now it seems to work.

Many thanks!
