Problem

Scenario

You are working on a large Power BI semantic model that has grown beyond full refresh windows. The model pulls from a warehouse table with several years of history, and refreshes are starting to fail or run too long during business hours. You need a design that keeps recent data current while avoiding unnecessary reprocessing of older partitions.

Question

How would you set up incremental refresh for a large Power BI model?
