Power BI Tip: Speed Up Reports with Query Reduction Techniques Slow reports? Optimize your Power BI performance with Query Reduction techniques! Here’s how to do it: 1. Turn Off Auto Date/Time: Go to File > Options > Data Load and disable the “Auto Date/Time” feature. Use a custom calendar table instead. 2. Limit Visual Interactions: Minimize cross-filtering and interactions between visuals to reduce unnecessary queries. 3. Reduce Columns & Rows: Load only the columns and rows you need by filtering data during import or in Power Query. 4. Enable Query Reduction Settings: In Options > Query Reduction, enable settings like “Add a query reduction button” to limit slicer changes. These small adjustments can lead to faster, more efficient reports while maintaining accuracy and interactivity. #PowerBI #PerformanceOptimization #DataModeling #BusinessIntelligence #PowerBITips
