Dear Community,
I have a simple Power BI Desktop model which has one CSV-Document as a source in which every day 1,000 geolocations (longitude and latitude) are added.
In Power Query Editor each of the geolocations is reverse geocoded (Zip is analysed base on longitude and latitude). In order to do that a REST API of OpenStreetMaps is used.
My question:
Is there a possibility to only recalculate the zip codes of the data that is new in the CSV document? Else, the amount of data growth daily and the time of refresh becomes quite high due to the low speed of the API.
Looking forward to you feedback 🙂
Rob
Solved! Go to Solution.
@robinHH you have somehow to work with Incremental Refresh and look for new lat/lng based on new records assuming there is some time stamp that can help you with incremental refresh which is the minimum requirement to get this going.
There are many posts on how to implement incremental refresh using CSV or RestAPI which can get you over the line.
