Datamart vs Excel File

‎12-01-2023 07:00 PM

Hello All,

Thank you for reading my queries. I do not know if this is illogical question.

 

I have a data in multipe excel. The total size is around 4-5 gb and has more than 6 million rows and 33 columns.  I can append all these excel and import in PBI desktop. Another way, i belived is developing datamart/dataset and then linking these datamart and dataset to PBI. What is the difference in performance and tradeoff in these two method.

What is your concern with your current process?  Is it slow?  Is it cumbersome?  Are you afraid you will lose data?
