refreshing data partially

Hello everybody,

 

Example: I have a database/file which contains 800.000 rows and I imported it in Power BI last week. This week the database/file contains 900.000 rows.

 

My question: can I import only the 100.000 new rows or do I have to import the whole database/file again?

 

Thank you in advance

@gopowerbi in power bi service refresh is full refresh from data source ie if you do refresh now you will get full 900,000 rows. Unfortunately you can't partial refresh atm.

Well let's hope that in the future this option will be included because it would help a lot if somebody is dealing with a large amount of data.. Thank you for your answer
