Convert data in to native query for incremental refresh

Hi Everyone, I hope that you are all Ok.

I am working on incremental refresh and using a dummy data in excel for performing a test on incremental refresh.The following M code is used, i-e

"Fact Table" is the table where I want incremental refresh on column "Order Date".

=Value.NativeQuery(Fact Table,"select * from Order Date",null,[EnableFolding=true])

But I am facing an error which "Expression.SyntaxError:Token Comma expected" and I am not able to find the problem nor solution for it.

Kindly, guide me if anyone has performed such task.

Hi @Ivy_16 ,

 

I'm not an expert in this function myself but, assuming that you have copied out the code exactly as it appears in the formula bar, my first guess would be that Fact Table needs to either be "Fact Table" or #"Fact Table".

Now accepting Kudos! If my post helped you, why not give it a thumbs-up?

I tried that as well and it doesn't work either.

 

Expression.SyntaxError: Token Literal expected.

It's expecting a table reference in the first argument. Is your fact table query named exactly "Fact Table"?
