Hi
When I run a data preview from web app of power BI, the same query is executed in the database engine.
Even after I get the data preview result, the query still executing in the database side. This blocks us to run other queries in the database SQL client.
Is there a configuration in Power BI to finish/kill the query execution after the data is showed.
