Hi,
How do I set up the PowerBI dataset not to refresh data before today's date?
I want to keep the historical data but add today's data only and do this on a daily basis. So I have an accurate report where the data doesn't change.
Thank you
N
Sounds like you need to do incremental refresh:

hi @PowerBIIE ,
I think custom partitions would solve this assuming it's in direct query.
