This information is good as of 8 11 2015 and is subject to change.
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.
Let s see how we can determine the total file size along with the data model size and workbook size.
Row limit the maximum number of rows in your dataset when not using directquery is 2 billion with three of those rows reserved resulting in a usable maximum of 1 999 999 997 rows.
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.
Total file size workbook size data model size.
To accomplish this we can get the total file size by just going to properties of the file within explorer.
We really want to figure out three items.
This will tell you the file size.
Our data model is quite simple yet memory exhaustive.
250 megabytes mb total file size limit.
There is a 1 gb limit per dataset that is imported into power bi.
Power bi pro or free service.
If you have chosen to keep the excel experience instead of importing the data the limit is 250 mb for the dataset.

Maximum size of an imported dataset future size increases over time which is 1gb per file.
Maximum data storage quota in pbi pro service which is 10gb per user.
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.
When you reach the data capacity limit of what you can do you see prompts within the service.
