Query Folding Icons in Power Query
Unfortuntely, the indicators are only for Power Query Online meaning you won't see it in Power BI Desktop's Power Query Editor.
Hello jakaihammuda ,
it's called Data flows.
check it out here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/dataflows/dataflows-create
all transformations are done when the data is refreshed, the query folding transformations are pushed to the data source while the non query folding steps are done in power query.
What i dont understand is that how can query folding steps be applied after the data has refreshes, for import mode? If the data has finished refreshing and we now have that imported. Youre saying that the Report has to go back to the db to perform the query folding steps, even thought weve imported? I just dont get how that works/is plausable.
jakaihammuda , every time you refresh the data, Power BI re-imports all the data again.
