Native query grey out using data from Snowflake

Hi all.

I'm looking to do the "incremental refresh" thing, where I use the RangeStart and RangeEnd parameters. For that, following the steps in this video, I need the "View Native Query" option to be enabled, which is not the case.

I realized while looking for solutions that it was because my table was from a SQL query, so I used that query to create a view table in my database.

I select new source and choose my newly created table, selecting the option to get data from Snowflake. But the Native Query option is still disabled.

Using this that I found on the Internet, I get this:

Anyone knows how to solve this? Or some page that explains it? Because honestly I have no idea what to do. Thanks!

HI @CLQ,

I'd like to suggest you take a look at the official document supported data source part if your data source not support for this feature:

Incremental refresh for datasets and real-time data in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

In addition, you can also check the following blog about expand the incremental refresh feature usages:

@CLQ were you able to get this to work?  I am in the same boat, trying to enable Native Query not numerous existing Snowflake data sources so that I can set up Incremental Refresh.  Having no luck.
