remove tables in Power Query no longer needed

‎04-17-2023 08:11 AM

Hello,

I have two tables that I read from SQL and then append to other tables in Power Query. 

 

For now I have hidden the tables.

 

Is this a best practice?

 

Is there a way to remove the tables as they are not used after they are appended?

 

Thank You,

 

Michael

You can uncheck the "enable load" option in Power Query. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/refresh-include-in-report-refresh
