Hi all,
I'm struggling with a subject and I need your advices.
I've imported a list of tables and created relationships between them, active and inactive.
For a table, let's call it PROJECT_TASK, I have 4200 rows on the SQL table, when I check the SQL database. But I can see that Power BI imports only 1900 of them. I'm not putting any additional filters other than relationships.
I can find data on the SQL table that is not available on the list of rows of the table in Power BI Desktop.
Is there a limitation somewhere about the no of rows we can import into Power BI Desktop when connecting to a data source?
Is the relationships we build filter the data prior to any vizualizations? I'm just looking to the "Data" section of the tables and I can see it has imported less rows than what is available on the SQL database.
Thank you!
Hi @RAY_DEV ,
It's strange. Try delete the relationships and see if the count of rows is correct.
Best Regards,
Jay
