Issue with Pivot Transformation and Incremental Refresh in Power BI service
- 2 years ago
Thank you for your help.
I corrected the parameter RangeEnd as you mentioned. I solved the issue by performing the pivot transformation on my CSV files using Python before continuing with Power Query. I realized that when we perform a pivot transformation in Power Query, the incremental refresh doesn't work.
I made the following observations:
Initial Query without Pivot Transformation:
- I configured incremental refresh on a query named APN without applying a pivot transformation.
- I then created a referenced query from APN and applied the pivot transformation in this referenced query.
- The referenced query did not refresh incrementally, but APN did.
Pivot Transformation in the Initial Query:
- I tried to configure incremental refresh directly in the APN query, including the pivot transformation.
- This resulted in errors in the Power BI Service, indicating that a column could not be found.
This error message DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_MashupDataAccessError in Power BI occurs when there is issue with accessing data through the on-premises data gateway. This can be caused diffrent factors, such as network issues, gateway configuration problems, or data source authentication issues.
I don´t believe it´s the problem, because without the refresh incremental enble it works well.
