Hi Please assist

 

After selecting the data source on power bi desktop, it stays on loading and does not show the end results. What might be the issue.

Hi @Dimakatso,

 

Is there any advanced operations in your query table? Such as: append, merge, reference query, invoke custom function...

If this is a case, it may cause increase calculation amount(custom steps will loop calculate on each row with reference datasource) and memory spend.
