I had discussed part of this topic as it related to excel workbooks with the old power bi service but i wanted to refresh that and talk about the concept of the data model and highlight where we are at today with the limits.
Power bi data model size limit.
Maximum data storage quota in pbi pro service which is 10gb per user.
The workbook as a whole can be up to 1 gb.
Is there any size limit when a power bi report server and its optimized desktop is.
Each user with a power bi pro license has a limit of 10gb and each premium capacity node has a limit of 100tb.
The size of the dataset is instead limited by the power bi premium capacity size which is similar to how azure analysis services works in terms of model size limitations.
Maximum size of an imported dataset future size increases over time which is 1gb per file.
When you reach the data capacity limit of what you can do you see prompts within the service.
This is the size provided for pbi pro service.
For the other data sources under power bi desktop see.
To accomplish this we can get the total file size by just going to properties of the file within explorer.
Power bi datasets can store data in a highly compressed in memory cache for optimized query performance to enable fast user interactivity over large datasets.
This information is good as of 8 11 2015 and is subject to change.
Our data model is quite simple yet memory exhaustive.
Core worksheet contents everything not in the data model size limits according to file size limits for workbooks in sharepoint online.

See how to reduce the size of an excel workbook for power bi.
We really want to figure out three items.
Power bi pro or free service.
After we laid the theoretical ground for understanding architecture behind vertipaq storage engine and which types of compression it uses to optimize your power bi data model it s the right moment to make our hands dirty and apply our knowledge in real life case.
If you re using your own organizational data lake account there is no limit you can store as much data in your azure subscription as you want.
The core worksheet contents can be up to 10 mb.
The maximum number of rows when using directquery is 1 million rows.
Dataset size limit there is a 1 gb limit for each dataset in the power bi service.
This will tell you the file size.
Data sources in power bi desktop.
If the report meets the following size limits you can save it to onedrive for business connect to it from power bi and view it in excel online.
Total file size workbook size data model size.
Storage for dataflow entities counts against the existing limits for power bi.
What happens when you reach a limit.
There is a 1 gb limit per dataset that is imported into power bi.
Starting point 777 mb.
Let s see how we can determine the total file size along with the data model size and workbook size.
