Power Query Efficiency

Hi, 


I am trying to improve the effiency of the query below.

 

The database I am reaching is huge but the data I need is not large. I thought that adding the filters in the end would have improved performance but it still thanks a lot of time to to update the query or refresh the data. 

 

I am probably missing some basic good practice to get it working properly.

 

I cannot do a live link to the dataset as some of the data will have to be transformed afterwards.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 

let
    Source = AnalysisServices.Databases("link://xxx.azurewebsites.net", [TypedMeasureColumns=true, Implementation="2.0"]),
    #"MS - Orders1" = Source{[Name="MS - Orders"]}[Data],
    #"MS - Orders2" = #"MS - Orders1"{[Id="MS - Orders"]}[Data],
    #"MS - Orders3" = #"MS - Orders2"{[Id="MS - Orders"]}[Data],
    #"Added Items1" = Cube.Transform(#"MS - Orders3",
        {
            {Cube.AddAndExpandDimensionColumn, "[Dim_Customers]", {"[Dim_Customers].[Hrchy_Customers].[Billing Account]", "[Dim_Customers].[Hrchy_Customers].[Corporate Account]", "[Dim_Customers].[Hrchy_Customers].[Sales Account]"}, {"Dim_Customers.Billing Account.3", "Dim_Customers.Corporate Account.3", "Dim_Customers.Sales Account.2"}},

Hi @Anonymous ,

I would suggest you handling these data at data source rather than in PowerBI, you can add filters in data source, if you add it in Power Query, these data has been imported into PowerBI.

Best Regards,
