Power bi Table takes too long to display the data from MS SQL

[Pankaj2001]

How can I optimize the performance of my Power BI dashboard, which visualizes data in a table format from MS SQL in Direct Query mode, I am currently encountering delays in displaying data due to the dataset comprising over 2 million rows. I would appreciate any recommendations or strategies to enhance the efficiency of this process and reduce loading times. Thank you.

Hi @Pankaj2001 ,

For direct query mode, there are many ways to optimize it, such as turning off visual object interaction, etc. For more details you can check this link to optimize it appropriately for your model:DirectQuery model guidance in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Hope it helps!

Heya,

Can you use a WHERE statement and bring in only the data you're interested in?
