Understand Incremental Refresh in Power BI Premium

Hi All ,

 

I want to better understand Incremental refresh made recently available as preview feature in May 2018 release for Power BI Premium though. 

 

I have few questions  before I start applying incremental refresh on existing datasets - 

  1. Can we have more than 1 table with Incremental refresh policy in single dataset ?
  2. Can mandatory RangeStart / RangeEnd Parameters be re-used for other tables ?
  3. How to force full refresh on a table with incremental policy once we publish a report/dateset ?

 

Many Thanks,

Nilesh

    I tried with sample report for #1 and #2 ,  We can have refresh policy on multiple tables by using same Range parameters. 

     

    For #3 , there no option available in Power BI service except to re-publish model itself.

        I was also wondering about #3.

         

        GilbertQ, how do you know they are working on this? Anyone heard any ETA?

    For #3, forcing a "full refresh" on a dataset that has one or more incremental refresh policies...

     

    I posted this as an idea, here. Please vote it up.
