hey, it should work fine for PPU lincence, but the dataflow need to be in a primiun asigned workspace to use that option on it, 

here you can get some documentation on it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/dataflows/incremental-refresh

if this helped give some kudos, and if solved your problem please mark as solved for others to find.

Hi @JoswinPowerBi ,

Incremental refresh is supported for Power BI Premium, Premium per user, Power BI Pro, and Power BI Embedded datasets.

To configure incremental refresh, the data source table must have a DateTime column first, not only a date column.

Please refer:

  1. Configure incremental refresh 
  2. Configuring incremental refresh for dataflows 
  3. Troubleshoot incremental refresh
