All tables from the sql database not showing

When we do the direct query or import to our sql datasource all of the tables are not listed. I notice that there is a counter that stops at 10000 every time that we do the connection. Is there a way to increase the amount of tables names that it will load from the database?

 

Thanks

Hello, 

please find the workaround for the above issue.

1. connect to database in power bi desktop.

2. select any table which appears at the top of the list.

3.click on transform data and change the schema and table name in the M query sections as shown below.

Hello. 

 

I am having this issue when getting data from MS SQL. Did you find a way to see all tables?

 

Thank you,

Hi all,

I have the same problem with the production sql db of a client of mine. Navigator pulls in 10000 tables and stops. Filter on Names does not load more tables, so a couple of tables can not be reached out to. Even more weird, in the development db, it only pulls in ~4600 tables, which makes me think that there is some kind of time out for the Navigator Window. Any ideas, if there is a setting for this or how to get around this? Thx in advance!

no one else having this issue?

I has the same issue, I'm trying to browse from navogator into the more than 100000 tables from a SAP ECC DB.

 

Please Help

The same issue is being faced today as well when the SQL tables are more than 25K and the Navigator is only oaing 10000 tables. Any resolutions yet?
