Description
Did you know there is a free performance improvement sitting inside your Dataflow Gen 2 in Microsoft Fabric — and most people have not enabled it yet?
In this short clip from my Fabric Insider Ep. 3 interview with Miguel Escobar — PM for Power Query and Dataflows at Microsoft — we talk about the Modern Evaluator Engine: what it is, why it makes Dataflow Gen 2 faster, and exactly how to enable it.
Here is the key insight in plain English:
The Power Query engine that runs inside Dataflow Gen 2 in Fabric is on a newer .NET runtime compared to the engine that runs in Power BI Desktop. This newer runtime alone delivers 15 to 20% faster execution — you complete the same job in less time, with no other changes.
Here is how to turn it on:
Open your Dataflow Gen 2 in Fabric
Go to Options
Navigate to the Data Flow subsection
Click Scale
Enable Modern Evaluator Engine
That is it. One toggle. 15–20% faster. For free.
