Online Direct Query Performance

Hi,

 

I created a dataset plugged on a database with an hybrid mode (Import and Direct Query for last month).

 

I created some matrix a hierachical organisation and with simple measures. When I a am on power BI desktop the calculation of the matrix are really fast (usually less than 1 sec). But when the report is online, results are extremly slow (between 10 and 20 sec).

 

Do you know why ? And do you know how I can improve performances ?

 

Many thanks

Hi Ibendlin,

 

there is no gateway involved. The datasource is an Azure SQL Server

Maybe there's something wrong with the routing between the Power BI service and your Azure SQL instance. Are they in different geographies?

Hi Ibendlin, 

 

they are in the same Region (Europe)

If you have a Pro license you can open a Pro ticket at https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/newsupportticket/powerbi

Is that an on-premise data source?  Are gateways involved?
