Query folding with cosmos db on date field
- 6 years ago
Hi PBILover ,
Please consider this point first when using query folding:
If you cannot use query folding of this data source in json format, try to use the data source connector.
About details in query folding, you can refer these videos and documents:
- Query folding guidance in Power BI Desktop
- Power Query query folding
- Is Query Folding happening in Power BI?
- Native Query: Be careful when using in Power BI
To configure incremental refresh, you can refer these documents and video:

For your suggestion 'If you cannot use query folding of this data source in json format, try to use the data source connector' , can you please let me know which data source connector shall i use?
Hi PBILover ,
Were you able to achieve this? and improve dataset refresh time after implementing incremntal refresh.
Thanks,

Hi PBILover ,
Could you please shed more light into this ?- How did you enable query folding for cosmos DB - as from MS documentation folding is supported for only relational DB's and Odata, and not for No SQL DB (cosmos DB).
- I have used Microsoft certified cosmos DB connector but unable to achieve query folding and reduce refresh time after implementing Incremental refresh. Which connector did you use?
- Any other important steps that are required to follow.
Thanks for your time.

I'm also trying to understand if query folding and therefore incremental refresh is possible usng Cosmos db as the data source.
I wonder if PBILover was referring to this connector, which expicitly states that it does deliver query folding...
