Power Query slow for particular Sharepoint file

Hi All, i am using power query to get the data from two files which is in the same sharepoint path, but i can get the date from one file faster and another one takes too much time to load the date, can you please help me with this.. Comparatively the faster one is the big file size

Hi @Mageshwara 

 

Does that slow query have many complex transformation steps? Transformations in Power Query will also make the query time longer.

Hi @v-jingzhang !

 

Thanks !

 

I think so , Data transformations were happening while fetching the data, Can you please help me to how to disable that and what is the use of data transformations?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Hi! @Mageshwara 

 

What @v-jingzhang means is if you are using the transformations which can be avoided should be deleted. Very basic examples are like reordering a column, sorting the data, etc.

Try to manage your transformation in data as much as possible.

Hi! @Mageshwara 

 

This could generally happen if multiple users are using the file at that time. Can you try changing the path of that file and test again if that works or not? If that doesn't work try to remove the file and add it back.

Hi! @Mageshwara 

 

Then I'm very confident that this could be due to the source i.e. SP.
