Currently we are running the Amazon Athena ODBC driver (2.00.02.02) on both the local laptops as on our PowerBI Gateways.

Query folding is not properly working. Our whole data lake is in AWS S3/ Athena and we would massively benefit from proper query folding.


Something as simple as doing a proper incremental refresh currently does not work. (or even directquery)


To be honest I am not sure now what it exactly is that needs work: is it the driver from Amazon, or is it the syntax that PowerBI creates towards Athena?
