Determine if Incremental Refresh is enabled?

Hi All,

 

I've recently inherited responsibility for a group of dashboards from a previous employee (who left on bad terms). 

 

I want to ensure they're using the incremental refresh. Typically, I would just check the PBIX file in Desktop... but I don't have the PBIX files (again, bad terms). 

 

I tried to download them, but I can't due to "You can't download this file right now because it has been designated as a large model."

 

It is my understanding (but I may be wrong) that Large Model doesn't necessarily require incremental refresh, it's just a best practice.

 

So, is there any other way I can determine if these reports as using incremental refresh?

 

Thanks for your help!

  • Replying to myself here, just in case anyone else has a similar problem: 

     

    You can turn off Large Model in the dataset configuration options, and then download the PBIX.
