Setting Up Incremental Refresh in Power BI

Hello Power BI Community,

 

I'm currently exploring ways to optimize data refresh in Power BI, particularly through incremental refresh. I understand that incremental refresh can significantly improve performance by updating only the data that has changed since the last refresh.

 

Could you please provide guidance on how to set up incremental refresh in Power BI? I'm particularly interested in understanding the steps involved, any prerequisites, and best practices for implementing incremental refresh effectively.

 

Any insights, tips, or resources you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance in helping me optimize data refresh processes in Power BI.

 

Best regards,
Manoj Prabhakar
