Appended tables with incremental refresh

I have built a report that has two Azure SQL datasources added.  The tables have the same structure, but different data.

 

I appended both tables as a new table and disabled load and include in report refresh on the source tables.

I have configured RangeStart and RangeEnd parameters, and modified the query to use them, thus limiting the amount of data being imported in the Desktop client (the full dataset isn't needed). 

 

 

let
    Source = Table.Combine({pbi_aws_platform_costs, pbi_azure_platform_costs}),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each [date] >= RangeStart and [date] < RangeEnd)
in
    #"Filtered Rows"

 

 

In turn, I have configured incremental refresh.

When I publish this report to the PBI service, I expect to see the full dataset. However, the only the date range limited dataset is shown.

 

I have also tried applying the date ranges on the original source tables as well (not just the joined one), but the PBI still doesnt show the full dataset.

 

I have been able to use this method on non-joined tables successfully; what do I need to do to allow this to work?

@Planky  - Are you expecting data from March 2023? Try changing the archive data starting to 6 months etc.

My other report was 3 years, didn't notice I had selected months in this one. Oops. Thanks @gauthamboppana
