Hi,
I am working on a very large dataset and I am making a report using Power BI. It takes a very, very long time to edit queries, load data etc and is a strain on the PC when all of this is happening.
Does PBI feature some kind of data grouping or data roll-up feature where I could condense the current table into a new table where a number of rows could be grouped into one row based on one of the columns and this would be formed into a new table.
Does anything like this exist within PBI?
Thanks,
Greg
Ya, power query can help you out. Here is a good starting place: https://www.powerquery.training/portfolio/group-summarize-data/
Thanks for the suggestion. This solution accomplishes exactly what I'm looking for, but if I understand the process correctly, Power Query can only accomplish this within Excel?
The file I'm working with is very large and I will not be able to open it in Excel. Is there a way to accomplish what I want without having to import the data into Excel?
Thank you,
Greg

Sorry. I reall meant "the piece of Power BI that would be called Power Query if we were still in 2015" 🙂 The functionality of Power Query is also in Power BI under "Edit Queries"
