with the introduction of M Parameter, a new class of use cases became Possible in PowerBI, Currently it is possible to send an M Parameter and get back some heavy calculation done by the Source Database for Example



- GIS calculation, (clustering, Area size, length etc).with the introduction of M Parameter, a new class of use cases became Possible in PowerBI, Currently it is possible to send an M Parameter and get back some heavy calculation done by the Source Database for Example



- GIS calculation, (Clustering, Area size, length etc).

- ML calculation.



but there is a General performance Problem, PowerBI as far as I can see don't cache any SQL Query results, which make the whole experience less than Optimum, let's say the First Query will take 10 second, I expect if the user run again the same Query he will get instantaneous cache result.


Another expectation if the user clicks refresh in the report, I expect the result cache to expire.

I appreciate the Product team is investing a lot in automatic aggregation, but I am afraid, it does not help when using M Parameter.

Here is an example using M Parameter, I can see in my Database Console, a hundred of the same SQL Queries sent again and again by PowerBI, Import does not work as I can not import all the possible combination of results
