PowerQuery - Validating queries when saving is taking excessively long time

Submitted by Advocate IV on ‎12-03-2019 12:09 AM

I'm struggling to be able to work efficiently with Dataflows as I am experiencing excessive times to 'validate' queries after pressing the 'Save & Close' button. For entities with even a minimal amount of transformation (eg. simply changing some column data types) I've experienced wait times of over 3 hours to simply save the query to exit out back to the main entity menu/view. Should things be taking this long for an output schema validation process, regardless of the size of the underlying table data? Is this an issue being experienced by others as well?

This is making it simply impossible for me to work with the Dataflows product in this way.

It is pure performance.  This afternoon, I cancelled a validation after more than 5 hours.  Now in the evening: 4 minutes for the same content.

It looks like I was just lucky then, and too eager to boast about what I thought was a solution. I must admit that I did not perform extensive tests. Just tried it. I hope that MS will soon come with a solution to ease the development of dataflows.

That's great news, thank for sharing!  A little sad that this is a couple hours/days correction on their end but it took this long and this much frustration from folks to get it prioritized.

I also was getting results faster than I have been in the past couple weeks.  I'm cautiously optomistic this has been addressed and at least fixed to some degree.

From my perspective (located in France), the issue is back and has not been fixed.

In Houston. Yesterday was horrible, but I was using FireFox browser.

Today is slow but manageable - using Edge.

Not sure if switching browsers was key - I've never had issues before in FF, and I much prefer it. But I'll keep using Edge and see how things go from here. At least I can get work done - albeit, slowly.
