Query Folding on Folder Source - JSON files

 

Hi PBI Devs!

hmebq_au_2-1668146046981.png


Is it possible for me to set incremental refresh on Local folder source containg JSON files without the native query enabled?
I can manually publish using desktop but refresh fails in PBI service.

Note: This is the refresh error:

Hi @Anonymous ,
this doesn't work out of the box. 
You can either go via datamarts: How to use Incremental Refresh on ANY data source! – PBI Guy (pbi-guy.com)
or just dataflows: Incremental Refresh For Cloud Data Sources in Power BI Service (Pro) | Excel Inside (excel-inside.pro)
