Hello,
I'm new to PowerBI, so I don't have deep technical knowledge of PowerBI,
In my application, I load data from a huge view. In this view, I have around 40m rows and 100 columns.
For my app, I need to load only 80 columns, and I need to rename them. I see three solutions:
- change the view (I don't have permission to change DB, so I need to ask another team to modify it for me; other teams can use it)
- load data as is and add two steps - remove and rename. In this case, "view native query" is still active
- create SQL query (one step)
How do you think which solution is better from the performance point of view?
Regards,
Vitalii
If it folds, it's just as good as the other team changing the view. In the end, the solution that doesn't require you to wait for another team is the best solution.
