Incremental Refresh - Date column in separate table

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I want to set up incremental refresh on a table being sourced from SQL server. The date column in the table is a random number, and I have to join the table to a date dimension table to get a date column.

Is it still possible to set incremental refresh on this table? I am joining the tables in power query and not via SQL or using a native query.

Thanks

Mike

hi, @Anonymous 

Yes, you could use Merge Function in power query to joining the tables.

Then expend the date column and set Incremental Refresh.
