## Connect to Dynatrace Grail from Power Query Online

To connect to Dynatrace Grail DQL from Power Query Online:

1. Select the **Dynatrace Grail DQL** option in the get data experience. Different apps have different ways of getting to the Power Query Online get data experience. For more information, go to [Where to get data](../where-to-get-data.md).

### Connect using advanced options

Both Power Query Desktop and Power Query Online provide a set of advanced options that you can add to your query if needed.

The following table lists all of the advanced options you can set in Power Query Desktop and Power Query Online.


| Advanced option | Description |
|-----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Read data limit | Limit in gigabytes for the amount of data that will be scanned during read. Note: Increasing this limit can increase associated costs. |
| Record limit | The maximum number of result records that this query will return. Note: Increasing the maximum can result in longer run times. |
| Result size limit | The maximum number of result bytes that this query will return. Note: Increasing the maximum can affect performance. |
| Sampling | Results in the selection of a subset of Log or Span records. |

- The correct permissions outlined in [Dynatrace documentation](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/platform/grail/data-model/assign-permissions-in-grail) are required to be able to:

- Connect to the environment
- Run DQL queries against the Dynatrace platform
