Should I split tables by year?
- Anonymous6 years ago
jmvidal I am doing this with transaction data: 2015 to 2019 data is static and then 2020 data is refreshed. Then I use the UNION command. It makes the data refresh much faster.
jmvidal The BI Accountant has this approach that is along the same lines: https://www.thebiccountant.com/2017/01/11/incremental-load-in-powerbi-using-dax-union/

Thank you Anonymous !
After reading the article looks like it is not a common way to deal with large data series when you just need to update recent info.
I thought it would be a more popular request...

Thanks, that makes sense. That's definitely what I'm going to try.
