Query joining more than three tables

"Query joining more than three tables" is one of the performance checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. n query(ies) chain more than three joins. It is a medium-severity finding: the model still works, but results are wrong in some filter contexts, slow, or fragile under change. Build the join in the warehouse and expose a view, or model the tables separately and let relationships do the work.

What is detected

n query(ies) chain more than three joins. Each one buffers its right-hand table, and the refresh time grows faster than the data.

Why it matters

Wrong in some filter contexts, slow, or fragile under change. Fix in the next iteration.

How to fix it

Build the join in the warehouse and expose a view, or model the tables separately and let relationships do the work.
