Do not refresh

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

Sounds like you need to do incremental refresh:

hi @PowerBIIE ,

 

I think custom partitions would solve this assuming it's in direct query.
