Power Query Import mode with Filter/merge

Hi All,

I need to import a table into PQ. The table has 40 mln rows. To maintain the integrity with other tables I need only 50k rows to be imported. 

I have 3 tables. let's say A contains city name with all the cities in the world and I need just London and Bristol, B contains tennant name with all the names in the world and I need people named John, C is all the combinations of cities and tennants and prices (40 mln). For first 2- I import tables with only necessary data (the real lists are of course longer and there're multiple conditions applied:). For C I want to retrive the data for John's in Bristol & London.

 

It works perfectly when I apply the filtering in SQL using where clause and then import the fitlered tbl. However I'd like to achive the same filtering in PQ without crashing the system.

When I import the entire tbl and attempt to filter rows by merging C tbl with A&B - the PQ freezes. 

When I import the entire tbl and try to filter rows by lists - it freezes as well.

 

Any ideas how to filter rows in PQ having the similar efficiency as SQL filtering?
