find query data sizes

Hi's

I have been given a large PBIX file to cleanup/improve. There are some 40-50 queries in it. I am suspecting that data in one or more queries, is the reason for its large size - there are no vicious(!) jpg's in the PBIX file that are causing it to take up space. Once I know the culprit, I try to come up with some filers etc in PowerQuery/M, and then only publish it.

So, I want to find out which all queries are taking up most room. Is there a way I can see the size or sort the queries by their size?

You can see the sizes of the tables that are actually loaded. This won't show you any "connection only" queries.

 

See this article. You need to install DAX Studio.
