Incremental refresh replaces full dataset imports with targeted refreshes of recent data only. It is the most impactful optimization for large Power BI datasets.
Slow Power BI reports are almost always caused by model design problems, not hardware. This document covers diagnostic tools and fixes for common performance issues.
The Power BI semantic model (formerly called a dataset) is the layer between raw data and reports. A well-designed semantic model determines report performance, metric consistency, and maintainability.
