If we use aggregations in our sql query side by side with non aggregated data for example the following:
id | sales | category | total_count | tvs sold by category |
1 | 1000 | tvs | 4 | 50% |
2 | 1100 | tvs | 4 | 50% |
3 | 700 | mobile phones | 4 | 50% |
4 | 600 | mobile phones | 4 | 50% |
If I now bring this into power bi and I filter out id # 2 will I still be left with 50% tvs sold by company,
I am getting the data from a database using a native sql query.
What is the best practice in bringing in data into power b should the data be detailed and not summarized and to leave the summarization for power bi using measures.

In some case, we bring in both detailed and summarized data to improve performance. But that will be case to case basis
