You are modeling data by using Microsoft Power BI. Part of the data model is a large Microsoft SQL Server table named Order that has more than 100 million records.

During the development process, you need to import a sample of the data from the Order table.

Solution: From Power Query Editor, you import the table and then add a filter step to the query.

Wait, can you really handle 100 million records like that? Sounds risky!

I think it doesn't really meet the goal. You need to limit the rows first.

I’m leaning towards "No" because I recall that filtering after import can still lead to performance issues with such a large table.

I feel like importing the entire table first might not be the best approach. I think we should be able to sample directly without bringing in all those records.

I remember practicing a similar question where filtering was key, but I wonder if just filtering after importing is enough for a large dataset like this.

I think adding a filter step in Power Query should help reduce the amount of data imported, but I'm not entirely sure if it meets the goal of sampling effectively.

I'm pretty sure this is asking about how to generate a GUID in code, so I think the answer is probably a call to a JavaScript function.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the difference between single and double quotes when using environment variables. I'll need to review that part carefully.

I vaguely remember something about the percentage of the business value being key to the deferral, but I'm not sure if it's specifically over 50%.

I seem to recall that composability is about how services work together, so I guess I'm also leaning towards False.

This is a no-brainer. Filtering the data in Power Query is the perfect solution. It's like a ninja move to handle that huge table.

Absolutely, the filter step is the way to go. It's like using a magic wand to summon only the data you need - no more, no less.

Haha, 100 million records? That's a lot of data! This solution definitely beats trying to import the whole thing. Well done, Power BI!

I agree, using a filter step is a smart approach. It allows you to quickly get a sample of the data without having to load the full 100 million records.
