PowerBI incremental refresh for table data source that is overwritten/changed everyday
Hi There,
I am trying to understand and implement incremental refresh in my reports. My data source is Azure storage. The file is overwritten everyday, it may or may not contain the same records from yesterday.
Is it still possible to implement incremental refresh? Moreover will the incremental refresh actually help in reducing refresh times? Or do I need the data source to be something that's static and updated/added onto everyday?

Hi there,
Thank you for sharing this, however this doesn't answer the question to do with whether Incremental refresh is relevant for a data source that is overwritten/changed everyday instead of updating
Service will not create a history for your data because your data is overwritten every day.
I think you can not do incremental refresh for blobs in Azure (I guess its a blob).
