Hi Power_BI XploR,

I think the "Large scale" in Live connection is compared to Import model. For import model, it will have data size limit for 1G, but the live connection doesn't have this limitation. You could refer to DirectQuery, Live Connection or Import Data? Tough Decision! and Using DirectQuery in Power BIfor details.

    Thank you dax 

     

    Ok : 

    - For LiveConnect, there are no restrictions and the size does not matter.

    - For Import, there are size restrictions BUT what is defined as "large volume" ? From which size we can consider it as a large volume ?

     

    Thanks.
