Hello all,
my coroporate data is for many years and I need to limit the import to the last 5 years so that it wont take much space. Any idea how i can do that?

Hi @Rehab_hassan ,
AFAIK, some of the data connectors support to add advanced option queries to filter on received data before import data to power bi. (e.g. SQL, oracle...)

For dynamic date filter, you can consider splicing query string with query parameters or m query DateTime functions.

HI @Rehab_hassan ,
If you are using import mode, you can write SQL expression to filter the data before importing into Power BI desktop.
Or, you can filter the data inside Power query editor and then do close and apply.

Any hints about the sql expression to limit the date before importing it?
