Excel not pulling all records from view - sql-server

One of my users is trying to pull all the data from one of my views in SQL Server... She's about 200 records short. What gives? I don't even know where to start troubleshooting this. She's not using any filtering on the data, she's trying to pull it all using Excel's 'External Data' features.
I don't want to be spoon-fed, but I don't even know where to start looking to troubleshoot this. If someone could point me in the right direction to begin my investigation, I'd greatly appreciate it.

PowerBI - Additional Files

I have created a PowerBI. The source of the data is a SQL database. The amount of data I am working with is over 4M rows but unfortunately, PowerBI is not able to load the data. When I look at the TaskManager (see image), I see multiple subprocesses that seem to be running in the background. The file does not give me an error, but it just runs the entire night and still does not load the 4-5M rows.
Is this something y'all have seen before? None of my colleagues have seen this. Would love any inputs.
Thank you,

Binding/Auto-Updating charts in Word document with data from MS SQL Server

I've a task wherein I'm required to work with Microsoft Word document and database. Basically the word document has numerous charts that are created by users in two steps, first is to prepare charts in excel, then take screenshot and paste in Word document. It's tedious process as it requires re-doing charts anytime someone wants to do what-if simulations.
When I insert a chart in Word, the underlying data comes from Excel Sheet which I am able to fetch from database as 1 time operation, but it's not productive that much as users will have to open excel sheet, refresh data in sheet manually.
I tried to find different solutions but I'm blank as it's totally new work for me, there are elementary examples suggesting VSTO but I couldn't find more detailed examples specifically for charts like the scenario I've.
Has anyone tackled similar issue? If so please advise. I'm open to use either VSTO, OpenXML or even R packages that can help to auto-generate word document with updated charts.
Thank you.
I found solution by using R, it satisfies what I was looking for. A related task and steps are in my other question are here!

Need help stringing together database processes

I need some help from those with more knowledge than I posses. I am currently trying to figure out how to get real time data from a database.
I need to be able to find the company info from the most recent licensees. So the search parameter I'm using is 2016-05-10T00:00:00.000
The full string together from the API and the search parameter can be found directly at this link:
https://www.hurl.it/?method=GET&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdata.wa.gov%2Fresource%2Fv8vv-gqqs.json&headers=%7B%22X-App-Token%22%3A[%22bjp8KrRvAPtuf809u1UXnI0Z8%22]%7D&args=%7B%22licenseeffectivedate%22%3A[%222004-07-14T00%3A00%3A00.000%22]%7D
So I'm looking to retrieve the most recently added accounts in order to verify 1. the license is active 2. the license number the contractor gives matches what the website says. I would like to figure out how to automate this so that when the newest licenses are added I'll know, and they will be extracted/downloaded into excel.
If anyone can help with this I would appreciate it very much. I also have more questions about using databases if any of you are experts in the field.
Once again, thank you!

Since your goal is to get this data into Excell, have you considered using something like our OData support instead? You could structure your query in Excel PowerBI and it'd automatically refresh the data.
Another option would be to use our CSV output type with an Excel web query. I use the IMPORTDATA(...) function in Google Sheets, which is very similar.

How to interpret JMeter result while doing Database testing

I have recently started working with jMeter. And I was doing database stress testing for that. I have added the required drivers in the lib folder. And my jMeter is connected to database. And it works fine.
But the problem now I am facing is how to interpret those results. I just tested only one SQL which is doing SELECT on one table. Below is the screenshot of my various tabs in JMeter.
This below screenshot shows how many threads (10) I am running and Ramp up time.
This below screenshot shows me JDBC Connection Configuration settings, which I am not able to understand as well. It will be great if anyone can throw some thoughts on this what does it mean corresponding to number of threads I am running in my above picture.
This Below screenshot shows the result in a Summary report which I am again not able to interpret. What's the best way to interpret these results? Any thoughts on this will be of great help.
This Below screenshot shows the result which I am again not able to interpret. What's the best way to interpret these results? I was looking for how much time it is taking to execute that one single Select SQL. And this tab shows me lot of information but not sure how to interpret those. Any thoughts on this will be of great help.
Can anyone help me understanding these results? Thanks for the help.
You should use one of these:
Response Time Graph
Aggregate Graph
