What happens when you miss a refresh day with Power BI Incremental Refresh?

You've set up Power BI Incremental Refresh and there is a day that is missed

because schedule refresh failed or some other reason. What happens? Do you losethat data? Patrick digs in!

When you miss a refresh day with Power BI Incremental Refresh, the data in your report will not be updated until the next scheduled refresh. This is because incremental refreshes only update records that have changed since the last successful refresh. If you miss a refresh day, any changes made to your data during that time period will not be reflected in your report or dashboard until the next scheduled refresh. Additionally, if there are any new rows or columns added to your dataset after missing a refresh day, they may also not appear in your report or dashboard until the next scheduled refresh.
