    Hi lilianarondon

     

    From a blank excel sheet, get data from PowerBI:

    Inserting a PivotTable will use MDX queries (highly inefficient for Fabric as the capacity computes the entire model every time you do anything) 

    You can now go to Data -> Queries and connections 

    select your connection, and then set the max records to retrieve: 

     

    Inserting a table will use DAX (better for Fabric, I would recommend inserting all the tables and then making a pivot yourself rather than using the MDX pivot)
    For the DAX query, you can do the same thing, but you need to modify the query in the definition tab once you get to the connection properties:
