Direct Query Mode

Hello All,

 

when i try to work with live data, it is taking much more time even if i want to add a filter, for the report to be updated.

I dont want my report pages to be rendered until i finish with my design of all the data fields and visualizations...!!

is there anyway through which i can accomplish it..??

 

Thanks in Advance

@Anonymous if you have connected to data source via direct query and is building visuals you cannot pause that while you're creating charts but it won't stop you from building other charts even if it is taking longer time to retrieve data back. What I am saying is you can continue building all the visuals regardless of whether it has received data back for the previous visuals.

 

But you should look at why it is taking longer to get data back which is different story.
