Whole folder loaded as a source
"Whole folder loaded as a source" is one of the data sources checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. n query(ies) read every file of a folder. It is a medium-severity finding: the model still works, but results are wrong in some filter contexts, slow, or fragile under change. Filter the files explicitly by name or extension inside the query, and document what belongs in the folder.
What is detected
n query(ies) read every file of a folder. Any file dropped there — a backup, a temporary copy, a colleague's export — silently joins the dataset at the next refresh.
Why it matters
Wrong in some filter contexts, slow, or fragile under change. Fix in the next iteration.
How to fix it
Filter the files explicitly by name or extension inside the query, and document what belongs in the folder.
