The February 2020 Power BI update only really introduces one new feature - the ability to partition your data so that Power BI only needs to refresh the most recent changes.

Power BI - February 2020 updates
After missing out January's update altogether, we had high hopes for February's - but as it turns out, all of the big changes are waiting in preview.
This blog shows the following new features:
| Feature | Notes |
|---|---|
| Incremental refresh | You can tell Power BI to load only part of your data. |
| Preview features | The new ribbon is still waiting in preview, as is the new hierarchical slicer. |
There are also two new DAX functions (FirstNonBlankValue and LastNonBlankValue), but they barely deserve this mention!
A very quiet month ...
