Hi @Anonymous
This will be challenging without external tools. The best approach is to use Performance Analyzer. However, you’ll need to close and reopen your PBIX file, as re-running the same query in Performance Analyzer will retrieve it from the cache instead of executing it fresh.
Things I would check:
DAX formula that filter a table instead of just a specific column
DAX formula applied to high cardinality column
Datetime columns - split them into two separate columns to reduce cardinality and model footprint. Reduce precision - eg removing seconds - if not needed.
