Direct Query visual - PBI Service timeout

‎11-03-2022 12:26 PM

One of the tables in my data model is a Direct Query, underlying data is accessing an Azure SQL database.

I have set a timeout of 25 mins on PBI desktop. The table visual on PBI desktop takes ~13 mins to load. However, it times out on PBI Service.

How can I work to solve this issue?

Hi @bmk 

 

To me DirectQuery should be used to return the data quickly. There is a timeout to ensure that resources are not exhausted.

 

I would recommend either making the query smaller with using the WHERE clause. Or import the data and refersh it on a schedule.
