Filtering in Query Editor, Not data in data tab
Hi!
I am using a SQL query as an origin for a table and I have experiencing probems when filtering in the Query Editor.
The problem is:
First Scenario:
1 Large Fact Table without applying filters ->OK (the data appears in the editor and after refreshing also in the data tab)
Second Scenario:
I apply one filter in the query editor in order to reduce the table size. The preview shows data but when I close the editor and refresh, the data tab only shows de table column names but not any data!! -> NOK
Filter in the Editor:
Results in the Data Tab:
I have tried refreshing all in the editor, in the desktop and also refreshing only this table. Nothing worked.
Third Scenario:
If I apply the same filter in the SQL query (not using a new step in the editor) it works perfectly -> OK
It will be awesome if someone could help me... Thanks a lot!
froy - I have seen this happen from time to time and usually if I add a new column in the data tab the data will magically appear. You might be having a similar issue.
froy , If you apply a filter in edit query data will be filtered, ideally.
In the data view, if you do see data just click on a column in the field list and click ok table again.
Hi froy
In addition to amitchandak and Greg_Deckler‘s reply. This situation you meet is a common problem. Due to you can see the Data view in desktop, you may get data by import connection. And I have a test.
Firstly I get data from SQL and don't do any filter. I can see all values.
Then do some filters in Power Query Editor, and apply.
I still can see the values in data view.
Please try to build a report visual by table in Second Scenario, if you succeed to build a visual, your table is well except showing blank in data view. You may try to click the column names in Fields tab, click refresh in Home tab or add a new column and try again.

Hi froy
Could you tell me if your problem has been solved? If it is, kindly Accept it as the solution. More people will benefit from it. Or you are still confused about it, please provide me with more details about your table and your problem or share me with your pbix file from your Onedrive for Business.
