Incremental refresh runs small queries and updates smaller amounts of data per run instead of ingesting all of the data again and again when you run the query. You have the option to save large amounts of data, but add a new increment of data every time the query is run. This behavior is ideal for longer running reports.

Power BI incremental refresh relies on the existence of a *datetime* filed in the result set. Before configuring incremental refresh, make sure your Log Analytics query result set includes at least one *datetime* filed.
