Data hub | Shared Dataset | Performance

[Michaelbean21]

Hi there I was wondering if anyone knew how PowerBi report performance was is affected when building a new report from a "Master Model" within your organization.

For instance instead of copying the same model for every report we build and then having to go make the same update 10 times we are wanting to use one master data model and have that sit in the PowerBi service.  Then using the "Data hub" feature in PowerBi build any new reports off of the same model so that all reports are consistent.

However I noticed that it forces it to be pulled in by Direct Query mode which makes sense, but all the best practices I have read say that direct query slows down report performance.  But this seems to be indiciatin gif you are pulling the data from another source other than an internal PowerBi service model.

Need to know if this direct query to an imported master data model will still cause performance issues.
