Hi @Analitika 

 

Yes all 200+ tables.  At the point where it's Evaluating the queries click on Skip.  The data will load anyway and you should be ok.  It took a little while to load on mine but only a few seconds.

 

Regards

 

Phil

Hi @Analitika 

 

Thanks for the file.  I can import that to PBI without issue in a few seconds.

 

How exactly are you getting the file?  From a folder?  Server?  A website?

 

regards

 

Phil

Hi @Analitika 

 

That URL is flagged as malicious by my antimalware software and by Virus Total.

 

Please upload your XML file to somewhere like OneDrive or Google Drive.

Hi @Analitika 

 

Well that clearly isn't right but withotu seeing your code and understanding what you are trying to do, it's hard to help.

 

Please provide your file/code and an explanation of what it is you are doing.

 

Regards

 

Phil
