Power BI Report Size Increase with Different Queries Despite Having the Same Amount of Data
Yes, I currently have both table A and table B in SQL Server. These are written daily with a Talend process.
Table B is written using table A in a Talend job. The idea is just to be able to eliminate Table B from the Data Warehouse and the Talend job since they take up 90% of the storage in the Data Warehouse and a part of all the time of the ETL process.
That is why I have tried to replicate this job but in PowerQuery with the long query making use of table A directly. In the end, the resulting number of rows and columns is the same, but the file size is much larger, and I don't know the exact reason for this.
Table B is written using table A in a Talend job.
Why? Why not do that directly in SQL Server?

You will find that Power Query will take much longer to create Table B. Go ahead, try it out.
