Importing data with latest records

Hi, 

 

In a schema I have 200+ tables in SQL, approx. +5million records in it and I would want to import only top 100 records from all these tables into power bi desktop and create 200+ tables. Is there any possibility to do so?

 

Thanks

Shakeel

Try to Insert required field (Normally by Date) in Report level filter and use the Relative filter as input Top N = 100

 

 

Thanks for your quick reply!

 

in that case, I will be able to load only one table at a time, whereas I want to upload all 200+ table at once to avoid duplication of work.

 

Thanks
