Power Query and Creating Dimension Table Best Practice question
The method I commonly use to create a dimension table seems to me to be process intensive. I'm wondering if there is a better technique. I'm still learning but quite ignorant as to what power query...
Thanks Idrissshatila for the insight. Unfortunately I don't have access to that particular data.
Hello troyhimes ,
If you have access to the souce of the data and you can build the dimension tables there, then it would be a better option. like if the data is coming from a sql server, what you could do is build the dimension tables in sql as views and import them to power BI as seperate tables.
If you don't have access or its not possible to build it in the source then I would be building it the way you're doing it.
If I answered your question, please mark my post as solution, Appreciate your Kudos 👍
