help in refresh in Power BI service
Hi Anonymous ,
Thanks for the update. The issue might be due to the old partitions that weren’t fully cleared before the refresh. When you disable incremental refresh and republish, the Service still retains historical partitions unless you explicitly delete them. Try these below steps by using some sample data.
Disable incremental refresh in Desktop and refresh locally.
Publish to Service, overwrite dataset.
In Power BI Service > Dataset Settings > Incremental refresh history,
Delete all partitions (this step is critical).
Trigger a full refresh in Service, this rebuilds schema without incremental logic.
Re-enable incremental refresh in Desktop, set RangeStart/RangeEnd, and publish again.
Run the refresh again in Service.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
Thank you v-echaithra , unless i miss something in my action: I disabled incremental refresh, published the dashboard then go to settings , parameters and put the rangestart from the 1st available date and then run the refresh ( run refresh of the complete dataset)
