I am trying to combine 3 seperate tables as append new query. I never had a problem before, but after recently, I have been having a lot issues. In power query, its loading all of the data for each step which is taking forever. When I go to apply changes, it gets stuck on evaluating forever as well. Any help please! I never had this issue before. Here are my data settings:

@v-easonf-msft Hi no its not been solved. Unfortuantely I cannot share screenshots since its private data. Nothing has changed, I was able to append the 3 datasets before and now having issues.
Hi, @PowerBI123456
Does the issue only occur in this report?
Please share a related screenshot for further research.

Has the folder's location changed ? Is it a network path ?
@camargos88 Nope, nothing has changed. I can access this files fine. Only thing that changed was that I got the updated version of Power BI. Is there a way to stop all the data to load for every single step in power query.
What is your source ?
How are you doing it ? Append them on a new table ?
Also, are you transforming something before the append function ?
@camargos88 Yes append as new. All transformation is done first and then I am apennding. I was doing this before and never had an issue.
Has the volume data increased ?
@camargos88 Not really. But why is the full data loading from each table for each step? It never use to do that.
