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

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