Remove TOPN from query

Hi guys,

For Power Automate I need to run a query for a table and therefore I copy my query from performance analyzer in Power BI from the table I need. 

However, instead of returning the entire table data it only queries the top 501. 

How do I just query the entire table / remove TopN? My desired result should be around 83000 rows 

// DAX Query
DEFINE
  VAR __DS0Core = 
    SUMMARIZE(
      'Activity',
      'Activity'[Activity],
      'Activity'[CapacityName],
      'Activity'[LastRefreshTime],
      'Activity'[Report_BK],
      'Activity'[User_BK],
      'Activity'[Date_Creation_BK],
      'Activity'[Dataset_BK],
      'Activity'[Group_BK],
      'Activity'[Time_Creation_BK]
    )

  VAR __DS0PrimaryWindowed = 
    TOPN(
      501,
      __DS0Core,
      'Activity'[Activity],
      1,
      'Activity'[CapacityName],
      1,
      'Activity'[LastRefreshTime],
      1,
      'Activity'[Report_BK],
      1,
      'Activity'[User_BK],
      1,
      'Activity'[Date_Creation_BK],
      1,
      'Activity'[Dataset_BK],
      1,
      'Activity'[Group_BK],
      1,
      'Activity'[Time_Creation_BK],
      1
    )

EVALUATE
  __DS0PrimaryWindowed

ORDER BY
  'Activity'[Activity],
  'Activity'[CapacityName],
  'Activity'[LastRefreshTime],
  'Activity'[Report_BK],
  'Activity'[User_BK],
  'Activity'[Date_Creation_BK],
  'Activity'[Dataset_BK],
  'Activity'[Group_BK],
  'Activity'[Time_Creation_BK]


Thanks a lot,

Mikkel

Thanks @amitchandak ,

It worked. I tried to remove the variable "TopN" and the ORDER BY but got an error. Is the solution to keep the ORDER BY function?

Yes, I believe you need to keep the Order By function. 

 

I had a similar query and removed the TOPN function, the only issue I have is that the query will only extract 10,000 rows. Unfortunately my query needs 1,000,000+ rows. 

 

Does anyone have any solutions? 

Old, but in case anyone is here looking for answers. You can just drop these queries into PowerBI Report builder to quickly and easily write the DAX for a Paginated Report. No row limit then.

@AlLangstaff what does this mean?
