Error when profiling data

Hi,

 

When i try to profile a table that i build by appending several other tables, i have an error that simply states "We encountered an error computing the column distribution". I'm trying to profile the table based on all of the data. Is there a limit to the number of rows that this can work with?

 

Thanks.

I had an error in one of the original tables that was used to generate the main table. Since i couldn't preview this individual table, when i tried to preview the main table it generated that error.

Hi  @qmestu ,

 

May I ask, what is your data source, and is there any more detailed error message?

There is no limitation on the rows of data you can import into Power BI currently, it will depend on the capacity and data source your license belongs to.

Hi,

 

The data source is a number of individual tables, each one of them with the source being a web api. These tables, individually, are loaded correctly. If i append them all, i can profile the data with the first 1000 rows on the combined table. I if try to profile the data with all the rows i get the error that i described above. No other error messages are shown.

 

Thanks.
