Timeout refreshing data

Hi all,

 

I have a large dataset in which i have configured incremental refresh, the problem is when I publish to PowerBI service appears timeout issue because the history is refreshed in about 4 hours in powerbi desktop, is there an option to change the timeout time in powerbi service? I think is 2 hours

 

Best regards

whch driver are you using? Does it have an ODBC equivalent?  In ODBC you can set connection timeout and query timeout.

Thanks @lbendlin I'm using the SQL Server connection, my source is an Azure SQL Server

 

I have tried the CommandTimeout=#duration(0,4,0,0)] in advanced editor  but doesn't work for me 

 

Best regards 

CommandTimeout is just for the initial connection.  You want the QueryTimeout which is not exposed in the native SQL connector.  Try ODBC.
