Helper VWhat is Power BI loading when it shows the "Loading Data" Screen?
HI vickyd,
I'd like to complement Greg_Deckler's point of view.
Normally, you can enter to query editor and will see your query tables with their query steps. In fact, displayed query tables records are the preview of these query formula processing results. They weren't really executed and imported source data to the query editor side.
When you click 'apply & save changes', these query steps will be executed and processing in the background and display 'loading data panel' to notice that 'power bi are busy to process your data'. (execute query steps to get data and transform data structure, then loading and convert these result tables to data model tables)
I hope the above can be helpful to your doubts.

Thanks Greg.I'm curious to know exactly what it is busy with though.
In case it matters, I am referring to a report within Power BI Report Server and the test I did was on a server that is not accessed by anyone else so all of the resources as such are available.
