    Enable Incremental Refresh for Power BI Pro users, not just Premium.

    RE: incremental refresh for Power BI Pro

    This feature is highly needed. To have possibility to refresh (load) only new records - without it Power BI will become useless for bigger data. And companies will switch to something else (like qlik sense). Maybe just personal users will be able to analyze home income and expenditure. But for companies it is useless without incremental refresh.

    Things like this is what makes me think PBI was thought or made for business with small data requirements. I don't see myself loading TBs of info every time, when only a few records might have changed.

    This is a must for any BI tool.

    Any update on this feature? It is a really important aspect to take in consideration when choosing a BI platform, eventually our reports start to get really slow to update, turning user experience into something really painful/boring. Can someone provide an official workaround ?

    I hate to imagine all the unnecessary processing that is being run every day (on our desktops and also app.powerbi.com service) because this (seemingly simple) feature is being overlooked.

    Using Union - tip from Imke Feldmann - works fantastic! But "only" dubles datasize :(. Please add incremental feature soon. In Eneterprise it is essential. Thx

    The latest workaround that in the meantime might help in some cases can be found here: http://www.thebiccountant.com/2017/01/11/incremental-load-in-powerbi-using-dax-union/

    Please do something about it. It's very critical for Enterprise datasets.

    '+1 (but given the effort to get around this limitation consider it +1,000)
