Dataflows Initial Load Configuration before Setting up Incremental Refresh

Hi there,

 

In Power BI Desktop, with very big fact tables, I was able to do partitioning of the table via xml end point to make the initial load of entire Fact Table. However, now I would like to bring some of the fact tables inside dataflow. Moving forward, I will set up an incremental refresh however do you guys know if there any way to do the initial load of fact table in a better way. Table is too big and may take between 6-9 hours to load the whole data.

thanks
