Hi BA_Pete
Appreciate your response. I think maybe i need to be more clear on my situation.
I have a blob azure database updating with CSV files each day from our transactional system - each day, the CSV will contain duplicates of the day before's information, but some of the rows of data will have updated info. I have a date modified field so i can use this to tell whether info has updated from the day before, but im not sure how i go about only updating the new rows (and therefore removing the old rows of data) using incremental refresh - all i can see i can do is to load all the information and then filter out the older data. This feels like heavy lifting each day if not much has changed.
Best regards,
Drew
