Query with more than thirty steps

"Query with more than thirty steps" is one of the maintainability checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. n query(ies) chain more than thirty steps. It is a low-severity finding: hygiene and maintainability, worth fixing when you next touch the object. Split into staged queries with business names, or push the logic upstream.

What is detected

n query(ies) chain more than thirty steps. Nobody can hold that in their head, folding almost certainly stops somewhere in the middle, and a change means re-testing everything.

Why it matters

Hygiene and maintainability. Fix when touching the object.

How to fix it

Split into staged queries with business names, or push the logic upstream.
