SQL for a power bi table

Hi Team, Is there any way to see the sql behind a power bi table.

 

I am connecting to a oracle db using power bi service with multiple tables connected to the power bi report. Have created a table view with help of multiple tables and now i want to improve the performance of the table query. 

Please advise.

 

Thanks,

Bhushan

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Try ODBC or OLE DB

Thanks for the article, This doesn't help as the data source is a combination of oracle and supporting mapping tables in power BI. The goal for me is to extract the SQL and share the same query back to our IT team for development of the final query.
