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
Hi shakeelsyed,
Click Advanced options-> input the sql statement to import top 100 records in every table.

Jimmy Tao
Thanks Jimmy Tao,
I have tried that way but its only taking data from the last query and creating only one table with it. any other trick to do so?

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
