Incremental refresh duplicates

Hi,

 

I am trying to set up the incremental refresh. However, I am having issues with duplicates after publishing the report. I have tried to follow this blog post https://nolock.medium.com/parquet-adls-gen2-etl-and-incremental-refresh-in-one-power-bi-dataset-f426... and use date modified of parquet file. However, it looks like, those modified parquet files, still contain some overlapping values. Is there any recommended approach for that? Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

You have to find a datetime column where there are no duplicate values over the different days.

 

I would suggest finding a column which has these attributes. Using the modified date will not be a good way to get this done.

Adding to what @GilbertQ  suggested try using insert date column if you have in your table

when using this, make sure data is not getting truncated and loaded again for any change.
