Hello,
After setting up incremental refresh based on a date range parameter filter applied to "Modified Date" of a SharePoint Online list, we receive the following error in our Premium Service Refresh History
The JSON DDL request failed with the following error: Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'Parameter substitution failed with following error: 'Neither mashup nor gateway connection string detected for incremental refresh parameter substitution'. Parameter substitution failed with following error: 'Neither mashup nor gateway connection string detected for incremental refresh parameter substitution'.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
