Power BI Desktop Multiple partitions

Hi GJA ,

The Power BI Deployment Pipeline replicates the entire semantic model (including model metadata, tables, relationships, metrics, partitions, etc.) at push time. This means that any changes you make in the development or test environment (including partition settings) will be deployed along with it when pushed to the next stage. As a result, the deployment pipeline affects the entire semantic model, not just one part.

You can use XMLA endpoints in conjunction with Tabular Editor to set up your partitions, here are some procedures to help you!

After a successful connection, you can see the dataset in your workspace. In the Tabular Editor, you can right-click on a dataset and select Partitions, then view, create, or modify it. For example:
You can define different partitions for a table to control how often the data is refreshed.
You can also manually refresh specific partitions to avoid refreshing the entire model.

If you still have questions you can check out the document I have prepared for you, I hope it will help you with your doubts!
