Updating Data takes a long time

[Tiago_Varela]

I'm updating data from BI to my PowerBI desktop.

Now it is taking a long time to update more than 1 hour

There are 1.789.093 line to update and the process comes to an end but the window with the loadin does not close.

Is it because i have to many formulas/measures in this program?

And the data is now running all the formulas/measures?

Thanks

Hi @Tiago_Varela

When you import data into power bi, it may need much time to load data into power bi when there is large size data.

I would recommend you to read this article.

Power BI performance best practices.

you could try several ways to improve performance

1.Use filters to limit report visuals to display only what’s needed

2.Limit visuals on report pages

3.optimize your model

4.when you switch "import" to "direct query", it doesn't load data into power bi, so it may take less time when connecting to data.

Best Regards
