Implementing Incremental Refresh with dynamic Dates

I have a power BI Pro License and would like to implement incremental refresh to my report.

 

As I understood, I need to define 2 parameters first; Start range of my data and end range of my data.

The issue I have is that both my starting date and end date are dynamic, i.e. everyday it will move forward by 1 day.

 

The source data is a live one i.e. if I try to extract the report the conventional way, it will give me data for last 2 days + latest data for today.

I need the  power BI report to be refresh every night but I don't want it to refresh for the past 2 days but only for today or if I trigger the refresh button manualy I want it to refresh only for the time between last refresh time and the new refresh time. 

 

How do I define my Starting Range and End Range. If there is anything that I need to pay attention to, thanks to let me Know.

What you put in the RangeStart and RangeEnd is irrelevant. That is just to get you going. Once you publish. that is ignored. When you configure this in the DAX side by right-clicking on a table and selecting Incremental Refresh, you put the range of days you want. Then the service dynamically fills in those parameters with your range.
