  5. Once the connection is established, you can preview and select Tables within the Navigator.

You can select Load on the selected tables, which brings all the tables into Power BI Desktop, or you can select Transform Data to edit the query, which opens the Power Query editor. You can then filter and refine the set of data you want to use, and then load that refined set of data into Power BI Desktop.

Limitations and considerations

Power BI Desktop might automatically set table relationships during data load, which can lead to errors. To prevent such behavior, delete all relationships involving the Status column.
