Hi Everyone,
Im trying to import 26 millons row (this is one year sales) from an SQL server, but its not loading. This is because Power BI limitations? my license limitation ( Power Bi Pro ) ? My laptop limitation?
I would appreaciate a lot all your answers
thanks 🙂
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous,
Could you please post the error message that you get?
As mentioned in the article I post, DirectQuery mode is useful for large data because Power BI Desktop doesn't load all the data in this case.
Regard,
Lydia
@Anonymous,
What error message do you get? The issue has nothing to do with the license.
Since you import a large amount of data from SQL Server into Power BI Desktop, please use DirectQuery mode instead of import mode. Please review the following article about DirectQuery mode and import mode.

Hi Lydia,
