Hello,
I have two questions regarding data refresh in PBI.
I am using PBI pro and enterprise gateway to referesh data from a SQL server, what I want to know about it are:
1) I see that the refresh frequency has options of "daily" and "weekly". Is there any option to refresh with a higher frequency, e.g. every 15 minutes?
2) When a refresh is happening, does my older data get overwritten? We keep data for the past two days in our database, but ideally, I would like the data that the gateway fetches when refreshing to be appended to whatever data I have so that my report can use data over a longer timespan. e.g. if I run the gateway for few months, I prefer to have all the data for, say, the last month that was eventually fetched from the db over the past rather than having the last two days. Is such a capabiliy supported in PBI? and if it is, do I need any settings in my gateway? If it is not, is there any alternative or workaround to keep longer span of data and keep appending to it and with every refresh, only retire the oldest set of data over the timespan?
Thanks
Ali
