Speed up SharePoint list query

‎09-23-2020 12:30 PM

Are there any tips/tricks for speeding up a query to a SharePoint list? 

The topic comes up a lot but haven't seen any conclusive or clear answers.

I'm refreshing ~20k rows from a SP list and it takes 15-20 mins. Meanwhile I have a SQL query pulling back 10x the data in 10% of the time.

When I run Query diagnostics, seems like PowerBI is making hundreds of calls to my SP list to get all the data.

What can I do to speed up this SP query?

You can take a look at @MattAllington 's latest blog post to the subject here. Not very good news though.

Yes bad news indeed...  I can't find any solutions that speed this up.
