Difference between Reference and Duplicate
In simple terms, Duplicate will duplicate the code of the query while Query Reference will only refer the result of the query.
Duplicate is generally used when you would like to create a similar query and you do not want to type the same code. You can make changes to this query.
Reference in Query means you would like to use that Query results in some other queries where your original query remains as a base Query and it can be used in other queries for the further processing.

Hi,
What about performane differnces between the 2 methods?
Thanks
Well i believe the Duplication does impact as creating another OBJECT in the memory, where as referencing does not.
But it DOES create another object, doesn't it? When I have 10 queries that reference query A, then refreshing the dataset results in loading query A 10 times. Or at least that's what is shown in the loading window. Any idea how to avoid loading the data 10 times?
2016....... but for me the right and simple answer. Thanks
