Hello folks, I'd like to know how to get help and/or give feedback on the Power Query Data Source which is in preview. I tried asking my question over in the SSIS forum but was referred over here instead.
I'm trying to use SSIS + Power Query to help me load and transform several gig's of sort-of fixed width text files that have been unceremoniously dumped on my client for analysis. It's far too much data to analyze directly from the text files, and I'm not authorized to throw the text files up into any cloud resources. Therefore I'm staging the files to on on-prem 2017 SQL Server as a single column of content in many rows, then attempting to use a Power Query Data Source query to split and cleanse the data into columns for summary analysis.
My initial question in the SSIS forum has expanded, and now I'd also like to know:
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi gmeronek,
1. If you want to get better performance or get error information, I suggest you could do this in server, the performance in Powerbi also is affected by server performance.
2. I think the query will start over after you change query and sometimes you need to re-mapping manually to make sure successful query execution.
3. It seems that there is no version for M code. You said some M functions are different in Excel and Powerbi, I think this is by design. They all have part of functions which belong to them(such as DAX function, Not all functions are supported in all versions of Power BI Desktop, Analysis Services, and Power Pivot in Excel).
