Incremental Refresh

When setting up Incremental refresh there is a parameter to configure the Archival period.  Two questions...

 

1. Is there a default value for this

2. Is there a way to tell what value has been set on existing refreshes

No default. It is whatever you want it to be. The settings can be seen in Power BI Desktop if it was set up there. Right-click on the table and select Incremental Refresh. If it was set up in the service, or is in the service and you have access to the XMLA endpoint, you can launch Tabular Editor 2 or 3, open the model, look at the properties for the table and it will show you what the incremental refresh policies are. You can read more about using TE with incremental refresh here. Incremental Refresh | Tabular Editor Documentation

Hi thanks,

 

I will take a look to see if this gives us the infomation.  Do you know if any of the Rest APIs give us this information or at least tell me which Datasets have tables with Incremental Refresh in them?

I don't know of one that will get that specifically, but Datasets - Get Refresh Execution Details - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn will return partition refresh details, and IR partitions are always YYYY followed by either the quarter, month or day, vs normal partitions which are usually a long GUID.
