SQL Query keeps timing out

‎10-16-2015 12:12 PM

I have a query that takes 6:30 to run in SMSS, but it's timing out in PowerBI. The query pulls about 500 K rows. The .pbix is quite small and only has the one datasource.

6:30 is an extremely long time for a query. Have you exhausted your performance tuning options on the SQL side?

Any chance you can post the query? Perhaps there are some efficiencies to be gained there?
