Hello,
I am wondering can we set data limit in power BI desktop? If that can be done how to do that?
Basically datas are coming from SQL DB and I want to set a limit of 5k or 8k because in sql db more than 50k data are present in a particular table or view.
Please suggest me!

@Anonymous , One of the ways is to use the advance option in connection and write a query and put filters.
@Anonymous The developer of the dataset make his own limit, either in Power Query using a filter or using SQL.
Also 50k is really no problem for Power BI.
