Add local data to Live connection..causing 1Million row error

[codyraptor]

I have a single file that I'm adding to a remote DQ model via live connection.  The only common join I have is the most granular being the ID.  I don't have other common dimensions in my file.  When I calculate anything...it causes the 1Mil row error because, I assume, PBI is pushing the calculation back to the cloud and calculating over every ID.

Question:

Is there a way to do a lookup function to add the dimensions needed to my file...so I can speed up the calculations and not rely on joining at the ID level?  If not...what are my other options.  It seems I need to create a temp table possibly...somehow joining at a higher level than ID.  Much appreciate any help!
