Power Query incredibly slow

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

Since yesterday, my PBI is extremely low to refresh. It takes about 30 minutes to be refreshed while it took a few seconds a few days ago. I noticed that it was specifically the "join" and "group by" steps that caused the problem in Power Query. However, I only have 150 rows so I really don't understand the root of my issue. It was working perfectly and I have not changed anything. Any help/recommendation whould be highly appreciated !

Thanks in advance !

Hello,

Thanks for your answer ! However, it does unfortunately not solve my problem. It is still super slow. Even adding a simple step like adding a column takes a while (and I only have 134 rows).

Any idea/suggestion ?

Thanks again !

Try clearnin Cache from the Data Load option as shown in pic, and try again it should be faster than earlier
