Currently the Business Central connectors in Power BI, and Power Query, do not support incremental refresh:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/service-premium-incremental-refresh#configure-incremental-refresh

Making incremental refresh possible, out-of-the-box, will increase the performance of the data refresh, since less data will need to be refreshed, in for example ledger entry tables.

This a great need for anyone creating/running Power BI reports. Why has this not been added yet?

This would be a game changer for our customers and it would improve the refresh time in Power BI significantly.

Please implement this. In many cases I could avoid using dedicated Data Warehouse databases if incremental refresh on the dataflows was possible. There is just no point in loading millions of ledger entries multiple times per day when the actual delta is only a couple of thousand!

This would be great. Native export to data lake would be better though.

We are wondering how other teams are implementing their custom incremental refresh.

Our first thought was developing an incremental refresh with a timestamp field but we can’t find any common one in BC OData APIs.


Daily refresh of our dataset finishes with error due to the amount of data we are downloading, like invoices data or customer movs. Currently we are working with manual workaronds...
