Hi pbiforum123 

 

The groups step ( list ) that we extracted from the security tables column can be replaced by an independent table with a list of all the groups, you can still refer to other objects outside of the scope of your query.

 

Power BI is designed to handle large volumes of records so expanding the number of rows is not an issue as long as you keep the columns in this table to the minimum.

Mariusz I need your help in getting the groups from independent table. Rest was understandable! Please help...

 

"The groups step ( list ) that we extracted from the security tables column can be replaced by an independent table with a list of all the groups, you can still refer to other objects outside of the scope of your query."

 

I tried like below, hope this the right approach..

 

groups = List.RemoveNulls( List.Distinct( #"Replaced Value"[group] )),
groups1 = List.RemoveNulls( List.Distinct(group1[group1])),
#"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Replaced Value", "new group", each if [group] = null then groups1 else {[group]}),
