Increase the performance time when using Direct Query

Hello All,

 

My Power BI report takes almost three minutes to load whole data because I used direct query to get real-time data. My report also contains many visuals. Therefore, I need to improve the performance of my report. 

 

Can you please suggest a way to improve the performance of PowerBI reports with real time data?

 

Thank you

If you are connecting on DQ, then you need to have a well-optimized data source as the queries are directly sent to the source.

@Fowmy : lets assume the source is Azure Synapse and optimised , considering this how much should be the standard response time?
