Getting data from SAP
Hi ibourega,
The CSV issue should be investigated separately by checking its delimiter, encoding, and column structure. For the slow SAP OData refresh, you may also want to evaluate Power BI Connector for SAP: https://www.sap.com/products/data-cloud/partners/metrica-software-inc-power-bi-connector-for-sap.html
It lets you select only the required SAP services, entities, and fields and apply SAP-side filters before loading the data into Power BI. This may help reduce the amount of data transferred, although performance will still depend on the underlying SAP OData service and your Power Query transformations.
A 30-day free trial is available, and we would be happy to arrange a demo and review your scenario.
