Referenced PBI table only grabbing data within RangeStart & RangeEnd of Source setup for Incremental

Hello,

 

I am running into a scenario where a PBI table (Table B) that is sourced as a reference to another PBI table (Table A) is only retrieving data between the Parameters of RangeStart & RangeEnd. Table A contains the parameters within its M Code as a requirement to incremental reference. The incremental reference is setup to go beyond the date range of the parameters. My intention is that when Table B is refreshed, it grabs the data post the partitions processed from Table A without the parameters being applied as filters.

 

For example, 

Table A -> displays data between 2023-01-01 to date

Table B -> displays data between 2023-06-01 & 2023-06-31

 

RangeStart & RangeEnd

 

RangeStart = #datetime(2023, 6, 1, 0, 0, 0) meta [IsParameterQuery=true, Type="DateTime", IsParameterQueryRequired=true]
RangeEnd = #datetime(2023, 7, 1, 0, 0, 0) meta [IsParameterQuery=true, Type="DateTime", IsParameterQueryRequired=true]

 

 

Table A -> Incremental refreshed set up for Monthly partitions ~ 12+ partitions

 

let
    Source = Sql.Database("SERVER", "DB"),
    BigTable = Source{[Schema="SCHEMA",Item="TABLE"]}[Data],
    IncrementalFilter = Table.SelectRows(BigTable, each [Date] >= RangeStart and [Date] < RangeEnd)
in
    IncrementalFilter

 

 Table B

 

let
    Source = #"Table A",
    DoOtherStuff = RemoveColumns_FilterColumns_DoADistinct
in
    DoOtherStuff 

 

 

Whats else do I need to setup for Table B to take the entirety of Table A (i.e. ignore the parameters)? I dont believe this is a precendence issue (yet) as calling for Table B to be refereshed in SSMS does not resolve the issue. Also when I have use tabular editor to adjust the parameters to a larger range and reprocess Table B, the data reflects the new range.

 

Open to suggestions. The reason for the reference is remove query redundancy to the source system.

 

Thanks!

Incremental refresh** not incremental reference
