    Hi answeriver ,

     

    1. Incremental refresh is configured in Power BI Desktop and performed in Power BI Service.

    2. The values of the two parameters (RangeStart & RangeEnd) can be set to any value, as they will be overwritten by subsequent settings.

    "Then create two parameters of DateTime data type, with names of RangeStart and RangeEnd, set a default value for each too. The default value can be anything, but the name and the data type should be as mentioned here."
    "After doing this action, your data in the table will be filtered based on the default values you have set for the RangeStart and RangeEnd parameters. However, don’t worry about that. these two parameters will be overwritten with the configuration you make in the Incremental Refresh setting of the Power BI Desktop."
     
    For more, you can refer to this article, which is very detailed:
