Limit Data Load during Get Data for Testing/Demo purposes

‎05-15-2019 01:27 PM

Hi,

 

For the demo/testing purpose, I would like to limit my data when I use the Get Data option. 

Is there any way I can do it in Power BI itself without resorting to SQL query with a WHERE condition?

 

Using Filters, we can remove rows we do not need but that option is available only after initial data load is completed.

 

I would like to limit the initial data load using Get Data. Please advise.

 

Regards,

Vishy

Hi @Anonymous ,

Based on my test, I am afraid you could not achieve this feature currently, you may submit an idea in ideas forum:

@Anonymous you can write sql query to pull data while developing solution and once you are ready for production, you can change it full dataset.
