Simple/poor man’s version of incremental refresh
Hi LarsPedersen ,
There is not really a non-manul way to do this since you want do want to refresh the large file every so often. So, if you are not going to use Incremental Refresh you could manually go into the file, turn off the "refresh" option on that particularly data source, then on the day you want it to run you can manually turn it back on.
That may work for you. But, doing incremental refresh is not that difficult to setup if you follow the instructions in this document if you want to save yourself the manual method:

Hi LarsPedersen ,
It seems that you want to set Incremental refresh for a single data source not all data sources.
An idea similar with what you expect has been submitted in the following link, please vote it up and you can add comments in this idea: Refresh one Data Source
For more information, please refer to:
