Dataflow incremental refresh with primary key
Is there any timeline for if/when it will be added as a feature for dataflows? This can be seen as a critical feature for refreshing data dependent on past state changes (i.e. Orders, Status, Deliveries, Inventory, Requests, etc)
The underlying technology for incremental refresh seems to be based on Partitions from SSAS. Therefore my guess is I don't think this will fundamentally change to support a primary key upsert any time soon.
Assuming therefore that when a record is updated it will appear in your incremental refresh therefore creating a duplicate you should add extra steps in your MCode to remove duplicates keeping the Max Primary Key therefore pruning the data in your Dataflows ETL process.
- Hi there
I do not think that this is something that will be happening anytime soon.
You could have an additional column which is the modified datetime which could be used to update?This possibilite already able disponible to users Pro?
