thank for your help v-janeyg-msft - I think will need to close this and leave it as unsolved.  Perhaps the documentation on the following page needs to updating:
Using incremental refresh with dataflows - Power Query | Microsoft Docs

I believe the sentence "After XMLA-endpoints for Power BI Premium are available, the partition become visible."  This is true for Datasets (i.e. because they are Analysis Services Tabular Databases, but it is not true for Dataflow.

 

Dataflows would be JSON and CSV files in the Power BI's Azure Data Store.  These can't be accessed using the XMLA Endpoints because it is not analysis service object.

Perhaps the documentation needs to be updated by: bensack , @DCtheGeek and @steindav

to say that this is not possible or to explain how it is possible.

Hi, Anonymous  Anonymous 

 

Update: XMLA Endpoint can be only used to connect to Power BI Premium Dataset for now, and Dataflow cannot use this way to refresh some specific partition. The customer needs to either do full refresh or re-configure the Incremental refresh policy to include the year data to be refreshed.
