Ability to exclude a table from Data Refresh (scheduled, manual, API, etc.) in the Service.
In PBI Desktop, we have an option "Include in report refresh" we can disable for a table. But it won't affect PBI Service.

This is a must have feature for the service, especially for services like Google Analytics which have a limit before they reduce the accuracy of the queried results. How has this not been fixed yet?!

Most of the reports have static data, Need this option so badly.

Please make the PowerBI Service respect the option "Include in report refresh".
Right now when I add a static data source (eg. zip-codes) which I don't want to refresh through the gateway, I can't use the gateway at all because he can't find the file with the zip-codes.

Is this by design so that Premium licensing is required to do incremental refreshes? I sure hope not.

Agree with all the rest of the comments, this feature needs to be added into PowerBI Service.
