Get around the Navigation 10,000 limit - Simple query

Hello everyone!

 

My database on our SQL server is massive and dropped into one folder/place. When accessing it via Power BI, I run into the 10,000 limitation problem in the navigator that prevents me to reach some data.

 

From my researches, I understand the best way is to handle the SQL server differently and make partitions there or trim the unused data. Unfortunately, I dont have the resources and knowledge to do so. My question is: If I know exactly the name of the dataset I want to import, is there an easy SQL statement (in Advanced Option > SQL Statement) that could allow me import it even if it is beyond the 10,000 Navigator display limit?

Sorry for my lack of technical knowledge and if I am not using the correct terms. Any help on the matter will be highly appreciated. I wish you a great day!

 

Best,

Romain

One thing you could try is import the first table on the list and then in power query advanced editor change the name to the table you want.
