Incremental Refresh | How to test if it is working?

Power BI Online Service
1

Good afternoon,
I have done all the setups to start using incremental refresh.
Everything it is looking pretty good, following MS documentation.

Before publishing to the service, I would like to know how I can check that it has been successful, and the services is doing what it supposed to do?

I look forward to hearing some tips.

Thanks, in advance.

disclaimer, I have not used Incremental refresh

There does not appear to be a magic ā€˜testā€™ button for this. So if I were planning to replace an existing dataset with an incremental refresh set, I would load it into a different workspace and run some tests over there instead of possibly losing the production version. Testing seems to boil down to - look at the most recent data (as well as some historic), and compare it to what you know you should be getting according to your source data.

Below are a couple of questions I found from 2020 on this topic in the community forum:

Thank you Heather,
following your advice, I have created a new workspace.
Now I am playing adding info for different periods to check if the policy is working.
Iā€™ll share my findingsā€¦
Thanks,
