I have followed the procedure with parameters to implement incremental refresh for two reports. Data is loading in dekstop. I have published to the service, but now no data is displaying for the current period in teh report, it has stopped updating. I wonder what might have gone wrong? As you can see there is no August.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I changed one of the affected reports and moved the incremental refresh to the date dimension table. Now it is refreshing. So it would seem to be a requirement. Though would be great to get confirmation. In none of the resources I have found have I seen that it is a requirement. Sometimes for a simple datasource a date dimension table is not needed.
Hi @bruceandersonBI,
How did your refresh configure? Can you share the steps of the detailed operations to help us clarify this scenario?

Hi Xiaoxin,
Thanks, I have quadruple checked that I followed that procedure correctly. It does not mention the need to use date dimension for the parameters and so I have not, not sure if that is the issue. For the data refresh, I have confirmed settings are fine. This report was refreshing fine daily for over a year before I reuploaded the (now inremental refresh version) of the .pbix file.

Thanks for posting. I have confirmed it is not a filter. The data is completely unfiltered.
The data is coming through the On premise gateway from an SQL server. It is scheduled to refresh several times a day. The refresh itself is showing as successful, however finishes in less than a second or two.
You mention date dimension, does the parameters need to be set on a the date dimension table? Because I have set them on the data table, not the date dimension table.
