Hi @powerbiexpert22,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.
Thank you for your question about query caching in Power BI. It’s an excellent performance optimization topic.
Also, thank you to @andrewsommer, for their helpful response. Much of the information provided is accurate and a great starting point. These are the alternative steps for your scenario along with the community member solution.
If your performance concern is significant, using import mode can eliminate query time altogether (at the cost of data freshness). You can define aggregation tables in your model to reduce query complexity and ensure more predictable performance.
Helps retain cache longer by reducing how often full dataset refreshes occur (since cache is cleared on full refresh). Use Power BI Premium Metrics App or XMLA based DMV queries to monitor cache hit/miss patterns and memory usage.
Let us know if you’re using Premium or shared capacity, and whether performance is a concern for a few users or at enterprise scale. That will help us suggest the best caching or modelling strategy for your case.
