Acute Power BI service problems in Europe, North datacenter?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm using Power BI Service with Pro license, running in Europe, North (Ireland) datacenter. I'm working in dataflow PowerQuery editor in the web-browser. This week, it takes about 10 times longer than last week to see the preview data for the same kind of work with the same data. I already updated Power BI Gateway to the latest version but this didn't change anything. I also tested my internet speed which is fully available and not at all slower than last week. Service health in Office Admin portal shows OK for Power BI.

Is there a problem going on currently with that datacenter? Does anybody else experience these problems? Any ideas how to overcome this issue?

Thank you very much!

I am seeing same issues, along with refresh errors.

Here are specific values:

• Loading a preview of 100 rows with 3 columns from an Excel file that is accessible through Gateway and has file size 69 kB takes 3 minutes 30 seconds in Dataflow query editor.
• Loading the same preview into Power BI desktop locally takes less than 5 seconds.

Internet speed is effectively 50 MBit/s upload and 250 MBit/s download with 16 ms ping. With SQL-Server on prem as a data source (which allows for query folding) performance is not better.
