When I want to make changes to a report with incremental refresh, I cannot pull it down from the server. I understand why, as there would potentially be too much data for PBI desktop to handle.
We have a copy saved on SharePoint, so I would make changes to that and then redeploy. However, at the point of publishing it overwrites the data on the service. The next refresh is then a full refresh. In the meantime, users would not have access to all the data.
I would like the ability to only make changes to the report, and for the service to keep the dataset that is currently being used on it.
