Using the VSTS Connector problem

been recently using the Beta VSTS connector available via the Online services apps in the Get Data menu option

 

when loading information i chose "Work Items - All history by month" and have been using this for the past 2 weeks wihtout problem.

 

usually the data refresh would take 20 minutes loading about 700,000 rows of data

 

then the last 2 nights, my data has multiplied to the point that i cannot refresh the data as it takes longer than 2 hours. has something changed to this query?

 

i have even started a bran new file and connection to make sure it wasn't me doing something incorrectly and ive been loading 2 hours worth of rows and im at 2,000,000 rows and continuing

 

any help would be appreciated

Hi @Anonymous,

 

The poor data load performance might not be cased by Power BI itself, it can also be affected by your computer environment. Please close all other running application on your machine and test again. And if possible, please test this scenario in a difference computer or under a different network.

 

Besides, please check whether the size of updated data is larger than before.

i tried another laptop and whilst loading data was faster i still found that my data multiplied substantially

 

ive contacted the PowerBI/VSTS team directly and got a call scheduled to see what my issues are
