Hello,
I'm trying to conect Power BI with BigQuery, but it takes too much time.
The table in BigQuery have more than 40.000.000 registers. And I need all data for my reports.
When I conect, it takes more than 2 hours. Then, I needed to change the type of a column, more than 2 hours again.
Is there an easiest way for what I'm doing? Or something I can do that do not take so long?
@lucianadfs1987,
Use DirectQuery mode to connect to BigQuery in your scenario.
Regards,
Lydia
