How do I get the total number(count) of a row?

‎03-22-2016 04:53 PM

I am trying to learn Power BI and I have a dataset that has more than 5 million rows. I've used the date type to filter things to start from a certain date until a certain date. How do I determine the number of rows that I have without waiting for Power BI to load them? 

 

Manually it takes forever to get the number of rows.

Your question is not clear to me: Which function are you using that you are requested to give a number of rows?

If I wanted to filter a table from Date A to Date B, I'd check the date column and choose the filters there.

The best option is to create a new column that has the index starting at 1, and from this way the number of that index is the number of the record or row.
