I want to create a dashboard with large data joining multiple tables, Which is faster in POWER BI?
1) TABLES -- Adding each and every table from the database and Joining all the tables in the MODEL query.
2) VIEWS -- Creating a single view in the Database with the joining of all tables
3) STORED PROCEDURES -- Creating STORED PROCEDURES without input parameter to return multiple joined tables records.
