@Anonymous , you have to control, the data you are loading. Or you can delete data using the power query based on some condition. Unless people have access to the source they can not load the data again.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Your data source is SharePoint, and you want to reduce the size of data imported into Power BI.

The only thing you can do is to delete all useless rows and columns in the ‘Edit Query’.
