incremental refresh not refreshing data on daily basis

I want to refresh my power bi report to refresh everyday.

Incremental refresh should push new data to my pbix on daily basis. 

The .pbix is published to power bi online. 

 

I have setup incremental refresh for everyday refresh : 

 

 

this configuration is not refreshing my data on daily basis. 

 

The scheduled fresh is set for every Thursday. 

 

Please help, 

Thanks 

 

 

  • Hi, dd96 

    According to your description, you said that your incremental refresh did not refresh the data every day.
    Based on your screenshots, you can see that your strategy is to retain data for 1 year and refresh data for only one day.
    But you only refresh on Thursdays of every week.
    For data configured for refresh for one day, you need to configure a scheduled refresh once a day. For example, if you only refresh on Thursday, you will only refresh the data for that day.
    For the underlying logic of incremental refresh of Power BI Service, it is to replace the two variables to generate corresponding SQL statements to query the underlying data source, you can use SSMS to connect your dataset and then check whether the created partition meets your needs.

     

    For more information, you can refer to :
    Incremental refresh for datasets and real-time data in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

    Advanced incremental refresh and real-time data with the XMLA endpoint in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

     

    Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!
