Hi ,
Scenario : I have a table which has 100 millions of records in my hive database. Out of it, i might need around 20 million. I dont want to pull the all 200 millions in to power bi model. I know filter out the records in the model is feasible solution but i dont want to bring the unwanted records in to my model.
Is there any way to restrict even before it get into my modelwhere i can pull only 20 million records in to model.
Solved! Go to Solution.
