Excited about this feature! One issue from initial testing: using incremental refresh seems to make a datasource ineligible for the UpdateDatasources api call--I get a BadRequest response if the report has an incremental refresh set. Will that be changed? Incremental refresh will drastically improve our ability to work with larger datasets, but only if we can still programmatically change the database connection being used.

hello, this seems to be a powerful update, but id doesn´t meet the need I originally understood from this post. What we need is in Power BI desktop the possibility to do shots of full dataset everytime you refresh data that appends into the existing table, including the refresh date in an additional column. Scenario: we have a SharePoint database with changing content and want to monitor the evolution of the data periodically. Currently, to obtain this we need to download from SharePoint to Excel manually to a library twice a month, add refresh date from creation date of the excel file and import to PowerBI. This is a highly manual process that could be very easily solved with an incremental refresh of the SharePoint list directly to PowerBi desktop, by appending current dataset and giving it a timestamp.

What about desktop? Some of us are not allowed to store the data in the cloud.

this is not a premium feature. this is a MUST have feature. how could you decide to put in only-premium option?

I need it for optimising the refreshes in shorter times

This is a great feature, however, for certain reference data sources that don't need a daily refresh or a refreshed schedule at all, it would be great to be able to designate a lesser frequency for the entire data source. An example might be - a refresh frequency setting - daily, monthly, quarterly?
