PowerBi Desktop vs Viewer App

Hi Togehter,

 

at the moment i've got that Problem that the visualization in the Viewer APP (normal Power BI, downloaded from the App Store) is much more slower than the visualization in the Power BI Desktop App.

I dont know what to do. In the Desktop App erverthing is extremly fast, the visualtion takes less then half a second. In the Viewer App its up to 2-3 seconds.

Maybe one of you had the same problem and knows what to do.

 

Greetings

Lars 🙂

Hi @LarsBischoff ,

 

1.Power Apps

Power Apps is a simple and intuitive platform that allows users to create user interfaces for mobile applications by dragging and dropping elements. Users can add text boxes, option fields and other controls to the user interface.There is a feature in Power Apps that allows users to connect to multiple data sources and once developed, users can simply publish the application for use across the business.

2.Power BI Desktop

Power BI Desktop is a free download from the Microsoft Store and can be installed on any Windows PC.Power BI is not yet available for any operating system other than Windows. Power BI allows users to connect to a variety of different data sources and extract relevant information into the Power BI data model. Once the data is located in Power BI, users can manipulate, adjust and change it to meet their reporting requirements. To gain insights, this processed data can be represented in the form of graphs and charts. These graphs can be used to support a variety of scenarios, including storytelling, what-if studies, forecasts, and other predictions.

 

Therefore based on different business scenarios, the response time of the same operation on two applications may also differ and other similar errors may occur.
