RangeStart and RangeEnd in Incremental Refresh
My client has a 135 GB data set in a delta table on Azure DataBricks that has been setup for the purpose of a PoC which needs to be displayed on to a Power BI a report.
This is the data count i have for the PoC I am working on
month_num: - row count
202307: - 956,709,036
202308:- 934.470,054
202309: - 937,174,626
202310: - 978,703,128
202311: - 2,320,280,532
I have a set up an Incremental Refresh for a period of 5 months and daily refresh for 30 days.
I am setting the Power Query using the month_num by converting the datatime to Integer via a Function. However, when the Periods are set specifically as above, why does my RangeStart start from "0001,01,01,00,00,00" and RangeEnd end with "9999,12,31,23,59,59".
RangeStart =
RangeEnd =
- Also why does the Query Execute for the Complete Data to analyze potential issues?
- Is it possible to restrict this. as mentioned above I have 135GB of data. will this be executed against all of that when I am restricting the data to 10 using the DataSize parameter.
- Is it possible to set the DataSize parameter against the Query such a LIMIT DataSize?
Thanks

To work with incremental refresh the requirement is to work with date/time columns else to convert it to integer we need specific steps to be followed. Please have a look at the following document for further guidance and there would be previously solved posts on your requirements as well. Try to search for them as well.
