Hi @supansat ,

We can connect to the SQL server data source in Power BI Desktop.

And Power BI Desktop provides a set of advanced options that you can add to your query if needed when you connect to SQL server. I don't know if it can help you.

Another place that involves query is query folding, you can refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/power-query-folding

Hi @supansat ，

The field 'SQL statement' is to import the required data from the data source.

See the example from this link.

@supansat , I doubt so. But you can check what SQL is created in case of the direct query using some SQL tool on the database.
