Pragati11 thanks for this, but I do not want to write another query to count the rows. PQWRY has severe performance issues on large tables and I can't imagine running a parrallel query just to catch the row count on each step. Getting row count is great for debugging and if MS can incorporate the excat count (if there is no other way we know of) that in pqwry would be great.

Hi smpa01 ,

 

I understand the performance issues on larger tables in Power BI as I myself work on large datasets in Power BI on daily-basis.

Looks like there isn't a way of achieveing this currently in Query editor in Power BI.

 

Thanks,

Pragati
