Hi Dave

 

No when I apply the filter and then do the dataload it still cycles thru the 8 million records before it displays in the filtered columns query so the refresh takes my users 30 minutes before they can access the report.

Debbie

Hi Debbie, 

 

From what you're describing it sounds like you need to apply a SQL query prior to loading it into the Power Query, but this only works if the data is in a server that you can access. I'm assuming you are using the Salesforce data connector and going by this link, it appears that there are api restrictions which is why you are experiencing the slow load time on the data.

Sorry I can be of any help.

      As mentioned in that idea, this is the limitation from SalesForce Report API. So you ask SalesForce for some help.
