AWS Performance issues with DirectQuery

Hi All,

 

I am connecting to an Amazon Red**bleep** Database containing around 80 Million rows. Only DirectQuery is available to work with this dataset. I have not used any DAX functions, or transformed the data in any way yet.

 

When I try to create visuals, PowerBI slows down and it is not all that useable. Visusals take forever to create. Is there anything I can do to fix or minimize this issue?

Need Help

    Hi demaldonado19 ,

    I'm afraid that maybe caused by your large dataset.

    In addition, if we use direct query mode, the query will be sent to the underlying data source when we create the visual or filter the data in power bi , so the performace will be a little slow.

    Please have a reference of this document about direct query performance.

    Best  Regards,

      Thank you for your response and for the document, v-piga-msft!

       

      I currently only have PowerBI Pro, do you know if PowerBI Premium would help with this issue?
