Downloading Data/Reports automatically
Hi Anonymous
Using power automate you can configure an auto-backup of your Excel file minutes before the new data update, otherwise I would suggest keep all data in excel because soon or later you would like to visualize it over time.
Since you mentioned the need of getting data from last weeks as well as the updated version, by keeping all data uploaeded, through Power Query you will be able to filter a range using parameters, I invite you to check this link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/incremental-refresh-configure
Did it work ? Mark it as a solution to help spreading knowledge.
A kudos would be appreciated

Thank you!
one more question to the incremental refresh: Do i need to keep the old data in the file? Because there is an automatic download of Data from SAP to an Excel file three times a day. The data contains informations for the last 7 days. This automatic download overwrites the old file, so when i normally refresh, it is only the new data.
