High CPU utilization when exporting data from report?

[ellac]

Hello Community,

I have a sales report that uses Azure Analysis Services live connection which is giving absolutely crazy CPU usage in our semantic model. The report itself is quite heavy, showing a table with many rows of data, and its main users are 200 external guest users who I suspect often like to export all this data from the table. If we imagine that they are actually exporting tabular data to an Excel - could this be the reason our server CPU usage is hitting the ceiling?

Is there any way I can optimize this? Apart from disabling the export function of course.

Just let me know if you need more background. Thanks!
