| Table ID | pgp_variants_only_with_gene_and_dbsnp |
| Table Size | 43.5 GB |
| Number of Rows | 710,742,568 |

See link below for how to connect directly to the data source using DirectQuery.

1 GB limit as far as i know. I'd look to writing an SQL statement to cut down the columns and only return what you need. 43gb is a bit big.
this is a challenge for genomic data where explore many features (with filters / slicers / etc) to generate hypothesis.
This was 3 columns table - a subset of a bigger table.
I will try to see what can be done.
if anyone knows of a walk around, please let me know.
Thanks,
eilalan
