I have a problem for which I cannot find a solution.
When I publish to Power BI Service everything looks fine, see figure 1.
So after an auto refresh at night, data spikes are now seen at 1 a.m. every day, where there is now a double value, see figure 2. This only happens for the current month.
If I retrieve the data from the graph, there are no duplicate values.
The totaled values I have in a card do not include the spikes in the total either.
I've tried turning off incremental refresh, to no avail.
I have tried using a different date picker with no luck.
I have gone through the DAX code but can't find anything there, it is very simple.
Data is retrieved via SQL.
I've been working with Power BI for a few years now and have never seen power bi show wrong like that before.
Your input is very welcome.

You made a mistake in the definition of the RangeEnd filter.
Between RangeStart and RangeEnd only one of them can be inclusive (usually RangeStart). The other one must be exclusive
RangeStart <= Date
Date < RangeEnd
Is incremental refresh involved?

Yes, we use incremental refresh in order not to load our servers more than necessary.

A follow up question if you have time?
Incremental refresh is set to 3 days, but the error spikes were in the current month. So now it is 18 days with spikes.
Any idea why it didn't just do the spikes for the past 3 days?
Does it look further forward than I set it to?
Partition boundary rules affect all partitions. Whenever you make meta data changes and republish that will result in all partitions being destroyed and rebuilt.
Thanks, yes I had "Date <= RangeEnd".
I have posted a new version and we will see.
Strange that this hasn't been a problem before.
