Hi @Priyanshu1 ,
Thanks for Uzi2019 reply.
Based on your description and the provided error screenshot, this issue is due to the fact that when you are using Direct query mode it is the amount of data that exceeds the maximum capacity of a one-time query. Here is a detailed explanation:

 -For 500 rows or less, there is no limit to the number of columns.
For more than 500 rows, the number of columns must be 125 or less.
For table or matrix visualizations, there's a 125-column limit for results that return more than 500 rows from DirectQuery sources. These results display a scroll bar in the table or matrix that lets you fetch more data. In that situation, the maximum number of columns in the table or matrix is 125. If you must include more than 125 columns in a single table or matrix, consider creating measures that use MIN, MAX, FIRST, or LAST, because they don't count against this maximum.
Values: Virtualization (data windowing) by using Window of 500 rows at a time.

Hi @Anonymous, 

 

This helped me to understand Direct Query limitation of Dataset. Thank you for your help on this issue.

Hi @Priyanshu1 

 

Because of too much data in  1 table so visual is not able to load the entire data..

 

Suggestion: try to apply  different filters so it will cut down you no of records per table..
so you can just select for this year data or relevent data as per your convenient.

 

I hope I answered your question!

 

 

Don't forget to give thumbs up and accept this as a solution if it helped you!!!
