I’m a bit confused. I thought we also needed to consider how to handle the data after importing it, not just the import itself.

I remember discussing this in class, and I think just using a WHERE clause might not be enough if we need a specific sample size.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Isn't there a risk of bias when using a WHERE clause to sample data? I feel like there might be a better way to do this in Power BI.

Yeah, this seems like a good solution. Filtering the data with a WHERE clause is a simple and effective way to get a sample. As long as the filter criteria are reasonable, this should meet the goal.

Okay, I think I know how to approach this. The key is to make sure the sample is representative of the full data set. Adding a WHERE clause could work, but I'd want to be careful about how I construct the filter.
