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

RE: incremental refresh for Power BI Pro

Still under review, why. Need to be able to collapse columns, e.g. multiple quarters in a year, but with current expanded only.

RE: incremental refresh for Power BI Pro

Why is this still under review? I think the work should have already commenced on this , given that this idea has generated 3000+ votes. Please make this happen.
This enhances the user experience considerably.
Expand/collapse feature to row headers was the best feature that was added last year

RE: incremental refresh for Power BI Pro

First off thanks for keeping this open and acknowledging the need for this in Pro. Previously too many ideas have been closed by admins when only a part of the requested functionality has been implemented.

Any update on Pro timescales. We are already seeing fairly small SQL Server datasets taking 15 minutes for a gateway refresh?

This is so important it should be part of the Power BI roadmap, with a planned date.

Until this is implemented: The Acterys Matrix/Matrix Light Power BI custom visual includes this option: https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/WA104381371

RE: incremental refresh for Power BI Pro

This would be very useful. This is one of the few features that Excel Pivot Table is still better than a Matrix.

RE: incremental refresh for Power BI Pro

Waiting to get this feature in PowerBI Pro. I am loading a table that has 10 million rows and everytime i make change on desktop and refresh, it loads all 10 million rows although I have added a filter to only load rows that are for fiscal year 2018 & 2019, but it goes through the entire data set of 10 million rows and takes 4-5 hours.
