Loading tables simultaneously setting max evaluations = 2 does not slow the load

[pkoel-asb]

Hello,

  I am trying to reduce the strain on our SQl server, when I load my Power BI report. I changed the Maximum number of simultaneous evaluactions to 2, and did a refresh to test. According to the refresh screen, more than 2 tables are being refreshed at a time. Our DBA also noted more than 2 queries running on SQL Monitor. I am unable to set the Maximum number of simultaneous evaluations to 1. Is there a reason I can not set it to 1?

Cheers,

Peter

Hello,

   Thank you. I set the minimum to 2 and still all the tables appear to refresh at the same time. Why is that?

Hi @pkoel-asb ,

Although there is no relevant documentation to explain it, only a minimum value of 2 is currently supported.

Best Regards,
