How to get the generated SQL statement in directquery mode?

‎10-18-2016 11:10 AM

Hi,

 

how I can get the generated SQL statement in powerbi in directquery mode without using the SQL profiler?

I want to see the generated SQL code and diagnose the queries, but I cant use the profiler.

 

thanks.

Maybe you can try with Express Profiler and Extended Events. Both of them are replacement of SQL Server Profiler.

 

Best Regards,

Sorry, I cant use snything from the SQL Server side. its SQL 2008R2, and I'm not admin and I have not the rights to see the activity at the server level.

I need a powerbi side solution.

Currently there is no such feature on PBI side can meet your requirement. Maybe you can vote it in the idea site.
