datasource change taking forever
When you changed the connection Power BI panicked and threw away all the meta data it had accumulated for the prior setup. Now it is starting over and collecting all the meta data anew. I really wish they would find a better way to do this.

Thank you, what exactly is "metadata" and where can I get more information about it ?
It is information about the structure of the data, rather than the data itself. So it lists field types, field sizes, indexes, relationship keys etc. A semantic layer, if you will.
Is there a place that I can see this information ?
