Suppose I've loaded 10 tables in Power Query Editor of Power BI Desktop. Each table consists of 1 million rows. I want to only load only 3000 rows from each table into the Power BI Desktop data model. How should I do It?
@ThisIsVS Nope 🙂 , You have to do this one by one because the tables are in power query separately.
Hi @ThisIsVS
If you are using SQL, you can add "select top 3000" to the beginning of the query. You can also follow the "Keep Top Rows" steps below on Power Query to set this restriction in Power Query.
If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

@Anonymous Do I have to Repeat the "Keep Top Rows" step for all the tables?
