Loading data in multiple tabs when launching report

[gustavoringler]

I have a PowerBI report, created with PowerBI desktop. This report has 10 tabs...and the report pulls data from a cube via a live connection. The cube with the data is in a network geographically far away from where I live and the server that holds the cube is not very powerful, which impacts performance. This is something that is beyond my control.

When I open the PowerBI report, Tab #1 is shown, and the data associated with this tab starts to load....however, the data for the other tabs (# 2 to #10) will only load if I click on those tabs.

In order to improve the report usability and end user experience, is there a way to "force" loading the data in all tabs simultaneously when opening the report, instead of having to click on each tab?

Hi @gustavoringler 

I agreed with @Greg_Deckler , the tab won't loading coz there wasn't query sent to the data source. and that's what Live-connection works. you might refer to the difference between the connection mode to understand them more:

@gustavoringler To the best of my knowledge no. Seems like you might want to consider import mode.
