How can large datasets be loaded using Rest API from Power BI?
We are using the Power BI Desktop application to create reports and load data from the API using the Web option. The API returns JSON, which we convert to a table for our reports. However, we encounter an error (“The current preview value is too complex to display”) when the API returns large datasets, specifically a table with 200 columns and 2,000 rows. Smaller datasets work without any issue.
Is there a limitation with the Power BI application on dataset loading? Is there a better approach?
Thank you.

Can you not ignore that and do your parsing manually?
