You are using Power Query in Power BI Desktop. The Sales_Transactions query filters the company data source to the last three fiscal years. You must create another table that uses the same filtered data but adds extra transformations. The new table should reuse the existing query's refresh to minimize memory usage and automatically reflect any future changes to the original query's steps. What should you do?
Create a reference of the existing Sales_Transactions query, then apply the additional transformations.
Duplicate the Sales_Transactions query, disable load on the original, and transform the duplicate.
Merge the Sales_Transactions query with itself and apply the additional transformations to the merged query.
Create a duplicate of the Sales_Transactions query and apply the additional transformations.
Creating a reference of the Sales_Transactions query makes the new query start from the final results of Sales_Transactions without copying any existing steps. Because it points to the original query, it inherits any later edits in Sales_Transactions and does not duplicate the data in memory; both queries can still add their own additional transformations. A duplicate, by contrast, copies all steps into a separate query that is independent of future changes and stores a separate result set, consuming additional memory. Disabling load on one query or merging queries does not satisfy the requirement to create a separate table that stays in sync while conserving resources.
