Ive connected up to the Adventureworks DW to give a demo pf Power BI. The pbix file i 317097 kb
The Fact table contains 11,669,638 rows. Is there anything I can do to speed things up. I have to wait ages moving from the dashboard to the report. And I wont be able to publish in the demo because it takes way too long
Hi @DebbieE ,
Based on my research, if you want to improve the performence, I suggest you use direct query or live connection and you could refer to below blog:

Hi I have the same issue here I tried to import the adventureworks database from SSAS tabular 2016 but eventually got out of memory exception.
I even tried to reduce the import to only three tables less than 5k rows in total and this how much memory is used for 5k rows !
Any thoughts?
I think I found why import uses a huge amount of memory.
I ran ssas profiler to capture the runing queries when importing data and this is what queries the SSAS engine executes to retrieve the data:
For some reasons it seems to do a crossjoin between each column which leads to an exponentiel number of rows and rapidly generates an out of memory exception.
Has someone ever experienced such behavior before?

[Measures].[Days Current Quarter to Date],
[Measures].[Days in Current Quarter]
}ON 0,
SUBSET(
