Query fold and incremental refresh

I have used the SQL query in the Advance Option to import the table into the model.

When I tried to set the incremental refhresh it failded because it could not do the query folding.

 

Is there any workaround to this problem ?

 

Thanks

Hi @BishwaR ,

 

If you used the SQL query in the Advance Option, query folding will not work.

You need to use the M language to make changes in Power Query or make changes in the data source.

@BishwaR Yes, do the same transformations in M that you do in your SQL query.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

My SQL is 2 pages long and lots of subqueries . Is there any templete to ease my transfermation ?

Or I have to manually change every code in M ?

 

Thanks
