Dataset schedule refresh time very slow.

Hi Everyone,
I have a dataset in service which uses a dataflow as its datasource. Dataflow refresh takes about a minute but what concerning here is my dataset is taking about 40-43 mins in every refresh. Table in dataset has around 60-70 million records. Also I am using Premium license.
Also dataset contains no other transformation or anything.
Any suggestions to optimize and decrease in refresh time will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @ns152154185 

I have a few other ideas for you to consider:

  1. Query Optimization: Ensure your queries are efficient. Use Query Diagnostics in Power BI to identify and optimize any slow-performing steps.

  2. Data Partitioning: Split your large dataset into smaller, manageable chunks. This can help in refreshing only the necessary portions of the data.

  3. Off-Peak Scheduling: Schedule your refreshes during off-peak hours to minimize the impact on business operations and ensure more resources are available for the refresh process.

Does the dataflow refresh use incremental Refresh?
