historical data for dynamic table

I have a dynamic database, and I want to keep a history of the data while adding only the new data with each weekly or monthly update. I would like to achieve this in Power Query. Is it possible? Incremental refresh is not an option, and I don't want to export data to SharePoint files using Power Automate.

It is not easily possible in power query. 

if you use Power Bi, maybe you can add a step by using Python script to export the result into CSV and then use that inside the code also, 

if you use Excel, it become a little bit more challenging 


If my answer helped solve your issue, please consider marking it as the accepted solution.

Yes I'm using Power BI, is it possible to add a python code to extract the data in cvs file (millions of rows) ?

any other solutions ?

@User2804 

 

Dump data out of the database before it is replaced?

 

Or just leave the data in the database?  Don't delete anything.

No not possible.  PQ isn't able to store data, it loads data from the datasource every time the query is refreshed.
