Like in data engg, can we get UPSERT data only in data flows from SQL server?

[@vishaljhaveri7565]

Incremental Refresh: (Analytics with Nags) Only update the newly added or updated data. Achieved using pro or premium per user license preferable data source SQL , Azure synpse two reserved parameter Rangestart, Rangeend query folding Only first time it takes much time. Once you PUBLISH this file, you won't be able to download this PBIX file since the partitions are stored in power bi services. Mostly the incremental refresh is configured for fact tables. In POWER QUERY: Manage parameters: Create new parameters. RangeStart and RangeEnd of type date. > Required > Date/Time > Any Value > Current Value These values will be overwritten in service. In fact table, > select the date column > right click > datetime filters BETWEEN > is after or equals to > parameter > RangeStart > is before or equals to > parameter > RangeEnd > Close and Apply In Power BI, Right click fact table -> Incremental Refresh toggle -> Turn ON Store rows where column is in the last __ Yr/mnth/day Refresh rows where column date in the last __ Yr/mnth/day [This information is the configurations and depends upon the business. Business Data changes for around last 10 days or 30 days] Optional fields: -> Detect Data changes -> Only refresh complete days -> Apply All Publish the report in Power BI Service. (deploying) Configure gateway

How to do incremental refresh if Data set is getting data from Data flows? And is there any possibility to configure table wise refresh schedules?

[@vivekpuurkayastha1580]

Hi Nags, Correct me if I am wrong; Incremental refresh is only meant for import mode right? It does not make any sense in Direct Query.

[@AnalyticswithNags]

Yes that's true

[@arunv1909]

@@AnalyticswithNags may i know why it has no use in direct querry ?

[@arunv1909]

@Info Lead thx

[@rekha2198]

Sir, you could shown us by refreshing table in the same session so that we will see is it taking latest records alone or not.

Hi Sir , Have started going through all your playlist for Power Bi ..In a interview , a question was asked on incremental refresh ,the ques is if you have 1 fact sales table and 3 dimension table and all the 4 tables have increment data and they all have one date column as well ..in this case in which column you should apply incremental load could you please share the answer for it

[@AnalyticswithNags]

It means each table has its own date. So implement in the same ways

[@tirsopalm5638]

Thank you. I made a model Invoices, Date, customers ans products and services. My data base is in SQL. I created the model using a data dump. How can I conecct to the sql tables for refreshments.

Not sure what is your question is

Hi thank you for sharing knowledge, Can I change in parameter after publishing report on power bi services.

[@AnalyticswithNags]

Yes

[@surender665]

How can i change it.

[@ananthkumar8901]

@@surender665 In Power BI Service -> Dataset settings -> Parameters option will be available , there you can change the parameter value

[@gettokeroro5007]

Thank you for sharing however I have question about set date parameter step that is not related with set period in incremental refresh step right ? Sir

[@AnalyticswithNags]

That is related...this is used in power bi services...You need to create with reserved words parameters

[@siribn2657]

Hello, we have used RangeStart and Range End parameters to filter out data other than 1-1-2020 and 31-12-2020. that means only one year data is loaded in tho Power bi . then how can we store 5 years data?

[@AnalyticswithNags]

You need to store in database

[@yogeshbansal7184]

We are refreshing just 1 year data and 5 year data is present as it is as we are not refreshing it. But I think both 5 year and latest 1 year are imported in Power BI. I might be wrong as I am a learner so please correct me, Thanks.

[@srirampbi242]

sir, What happens to other dimension tables, this dimension table will refresh fully or there did not include refresh?

[@AnalyticswithNags]

That will be full refresh

[@RaMeShBaBu-gf1wc]

Your explanation is very clear Sir

I did not understand correctly how provided dates will be override on Pbi services?

[@sravankumar1767]

I have one doubt here u have taken last 5 years history data, but u have created parameters in power query ,you haven't applied parameters in incremental refresh, y should u create range start and range end when we are not applied these in incremental refresh, can you please explain

[@AnalyticswithNags]

Already explained. Watch again. Only If you configure that parameters, the incremental refresh option will be enabled in power pivot or power bi desktop. Check for other tables...the option won't get enabled.

[@balakrishnathummisi7125]

@@AnalyticswithNags Hi Nag, small suggestion as some one watching incremental refresh video with out knowing how to implement schedule refresh then how can that person implement this incremental refresh by watching this video, hope you are getting my point. after downloaded gateway what have to do also you have to explain right Please share link or mention in description to watch so that we will watch Thank you.

Hi Nags is there a way where we can do an incremental refresh on weekdays and full refresh on weekend

[@AnalyticswithNags]

yes possible but tricky

[@Abioladavid01]

​@@AnalyticswithNagsthere is nothing tricky about choosing days of the week to do the incremental refresh. Just to specify that under the Refresh. That's all

Hi, I have created the parameters and did the date filter process also. But when I am trying to implement incremental refresh in desktop it's not working and throwing an error like need to create perameters first which were created previously. I would like to know the prerequisites to implement the incremental refresh.can we do incremental refresh with pro license. If yes iam not getting it.please lead me to solve this.

Hi, I am facing an issue, I've applied incremental refresh on my report as you've shown but in my report for example , the total number of records are 10,000 and after publishing the report on service, it is all good then I go to the SSMS and in the database I update 20 records and when I come to the PBI service and refresh my dataset and then when I check the count of records it shows "10020" ! So my question is that why the records are getting added instead of getting updated? I only want 10000 records and it should include those updated records and want to replace the old records in the service. Can you please tell how can I get that? I have tried every thing you showed in video and also detect data changes didn't work.

[@AnalyticswithNags]

It is strange to me as well. I will check and make a video on this if something goes wrong

[@fathimathafrin6486]

[@samid848]

Can I create incremental refresh for multiple refreshes in one day???

Every 30 mins is the requirement that means 48 refreshes Is it possible?

I have one table is date table ex 21-6-2021. I want to seprate year with new column how can we do it.like separate year

[@AnalyticswithNags]

In power query....Right click on column - > Transform -> Year ->Year

[@siribn2657]

we can do it in Query Editor - Transform-->year-->year and click on the date column, date button will enable in Add column ribbon, go to year. Another way is in Power View or Data View, New Calculated column, Year=YEAR('your Table NAme' [dates])

[@venumallela7630]

Why are you created range start and range end?

[@AnalyticswithNags]

To identify when we last extracted and then extract the latest or incremental data

Hi, How to handle deleted records from source?

[@AnalyticswithNags]

You need to do soft delete in source. So that using that deleted status column you can customise your reports as you want
