Some of the most common transformation that support query folding are:
- Removing or renaming columns
- Merging foldable queries that are based on the same source.
- Appending foldable queries based on the same source.
- Numeric calculations
- Joins
- Pivot and unpivot
The transformations that do not support query folding include:
- Merging or appending queries that are based on different sources.
- Using some functions while adding custom columns that do not have a counterpart in SQL.
- Adding columns with complex logic. These refer to functions that do not have equivalent functions in the data source.
The rule of thumb that I use : is or possible to do this opération in SQL ? If yes then low chance to break m'y query folding

For a DirectQuery or Dual storage mode table, the Power Query query must achieve query folding, this is why some transformations are not supported by DQ
So by default, it is used 🙂
