PowerBI + Synapse Performance test

Hi Mates,

 

I am building dashboard using synapse as a datasource. our table is pretty huge so I have created the materialized view in synapse . i.e my aggregation stores in memory. If i write a select it will fetch from memory rather than the original table.

 

if i create aggregation in powerbi, i can confirm powerbi hits the aggregation using dax studio sqlserver profiler.

 

likewise how can i confirm that my powerbi hits the materialized view in synapse to pull out the result ?

 

Your help is much appreciated!
