![]() Step 3: In this step, we need to set write options to specify how new data would be added to our tables.Ī. In this example, the emp_id field hasn`t been renamed throughout the flow and hence we have the same input field and output field. This is due to the data fields may be renamed as we prepare the flow. Output Field: The output field is nothing but the name of the matching field which is used to compare the last processed values in the flow output with the values in the input to determine the new rows. (In this example, there is a single output and hence there is no need to rename it from default.) This field needs to be specified because a flow can result in multiple outputs. Output: In the output field we need to specify in which output it can find a field to compare the selected input to identify whether a row is new or not. (Note- If there are multiple inputs in the flow, the incremental refresh needs to be configured separately for every input) Input Field: The input field should be selected such that the data field will show there is new data in the Input data source. ![]() Step 2: As we Enable the set up incremental refresh option, this will result in a further set of options that needs to be configured to avoid further errors. Step 1: There is an additional option in the input tool under the settings tab to enable incremental refresh. Steps to set up Incremental refresh in Tableau Prep: This type of refresh is extremely useful whenever we have data that updates daily (such as transactional data), or whose data size keeps on increasing gradually. However, Incremental Refresh uses only the additional records to update the existing input dataset which eventually reduces the flow runtime, improves database performance, and uses fewer system resources because incremental refresh would only process the data that have not previously been processed by Tableau Prep. Refreshing the data set means either the original data would append new rows or alter the data.įull refresh will replace the existing data with new data. In Tableau Prep, usually, there are two approaches to refresh a data flow namely full refresh and incremental refresh.
