Huge table

Can anyone give me some advice / tips / code to help pull in the G/L Entries from Business Central?  I have tried every way I can think of and nothing works very well!  I have heard there are coders who can create some "custom code" in order to get it pulled in successfully / optimize it?  This particular table has over 10,000,000 rows!

Hello @rmcgrath ,

 

but power bi can handle 10 million rows and more, so what's the thing with your report.

 

and do you need this level of details ? maybe you could aggregate the data and remove unnecessary columns.

 

also, you can connect to the source as direct query, this way you don't need to import all these records.
