Here, we have tables like Channel Details, Customers, Products, Regions, and a range of Sales tables for 2014, 2015, and 2016. Staging queries via Power Query editor is an intermediary step to achieve this. Therefore, we need to utilize the queries to integrate our tables or data into a more refined and optimized model. If we look at our model right now, we already have the essential elements, but it’s still too complicated. This is a recommended data access method.

Staging queries can be used to configure and expose the data sources parameters to the dimension and fact table queries of the dataset.įor Power BI datasets, we need to define parameters specific to the data sources, and develop a staging query which references those parameters.
