RE: Incremental Refresh in Dataflow for Power BI Pro users
I thought this was already available, but it isn´t, and I find it beneficial both for MS and for the end user.
RE: Incremental Refresh in Dataflow for Power BI Pro users
But incremental refresh not enabled for pro users for dataflow ! Please enable for pro
RE: Incremental Refresh in Dataflow for Power BI Pro users
Seriously, how can such a fundamental piece of Power BI / Powery Query functionality not be provided with a Pro licence?
We spend months/years honing best practices in Power Query, teach our clients how to create good models, and then you can't do it in Dataflows without a significant outlay on budget?
Please consider a change on this one. Too core to the Desktop client to not allow it in the PBI service for Pro customers.

Please include incremental refresh on dataflows for Pro Licences.
It would be a huge benifit.
RE: Incremental Refresh in Dataflow for Power BI Pro users
Very much so. Especially when your datasource does not allow for query folding, incremental refresh would still speed up the report refresh through a dataflow.
Currently, it's not of much use to me, since the vast majority of my datasources do not allow for query folding, and in general most of my reports are built on dataflows to begin with.
RE: Incremental Refresh in Dataflow for Power BI Pro users
I was very excited to see Pro users getting incremental refresh - until I realised it was Datasets only! There is more of a requirement to have this in Dataflows I think.
RE: Incremental Refresh in Dataflow for Power BI Pro users
Even having a limited amount of computed entity refresh would be helpful. Moving more common calculated elements out of datasets and into dataflows will improve reusability and help medium to small businesses make much more effective use out of Power BI.

CSV files consume a lot of space. Ideally, the storage should be in parquet or AVRO format.
RE: Incremental Refresh in Dataflow for Power BI Pro users
A single dataflow with a single entity with few fields consumed about 3GB. In addition to taking up a lot of disk space, the Entity's load time is absurdly high. We need to optimize this so that the use of dataflow is warranted (especially if we rely on it with self-service).

Can we have an update please. I will say I was joyed about dataflows till I realised of all the limitations microsoft put on small business.
