    Hi!

     

    In your case, would it work if you created two dataflows for two different destinations? One with the incremental refresh, which would keep the historical data fixed; and another that would always load the retroactive changes. That way you can use one to report the data and the other to verify the changes that have occurred. Would it work?

    You have some ways to do the incremental load and keep the history depending on what your destination is (database, data warehouse, file, Power BI dataset...). This link shows how to do this using PowerQuery. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/incremental-refresh-configure
