Purpose: Returns metadata about data coverage definitions, which describe how data is refreshed or maintained in a Power BI model (e.g., incremental refresh policies or partition coverage). One of our customers wanted show data from years back but also for today within one KPI (or table) and this should be refreshed every 5 minutes via Power BI's automatic page refresh. What dataCoverageDefinition does is tell Power BI what data is present in the DirectQuery partition so it knows whether to generate a SQL query to get data from your DirectQuery. That problem is now solved with the new dataCoverageDefinition property on the DirectQuery partition. Read on to see what dataCoverageDefinition does. Published in Performance.
