Thanks for the reply from @lbendlin , please allow me to provide another insight: 

Hi  @KAB-PH ,

Incremental refresh configuration requires the data source to support query folding, check whether your data source supports query folding.

You can review the following documentation to help you determine if the data source and query support query folding
