Hi,
When I add a new table in Power Query through a dataflow and apply the changes, it does not only load the new table but also loads my existing fact table even though I haven't done any changes to that. The loading time is therefore increased significantly since the fact table contains almost 2 million rows. Is there a way I can prevent this from happening?
I have tried to disable "Include in report refresh" without any luck, and disabling "Enable load" is not an option since this table is basically the base of the report.
Thanks!
