Triggering full refresh for dataflow and dataset

Hello,

 

I am using incremental refresh for my dataflow but I need to ocasionally trigger a full refresh to catch some stuff

 

My datasets are also using incremental refresh, how can I also trigger a full refresh for them? Any ideas?

If you republish from Power BI Desktop this will overwrite the existing partitions in the service.

Hi @PowerBITestingG,

 

You can use XMLA endpoints and perform full refresh of dataset manually.

Hi @PowerBITestingG ,

 

I believe that the only way this will work is if you manually go in, turn off incremental refresh, then manually run a full refresh.  Then, after that manually run full refresh happens, turn back on incremental refresh.  There is not a "use incremental this time and not this time" option.
