Getting an error while refreshing power bi report.
Hi Team,
I'm facing this issue when Power BI report getting refresh. Can you please help me in this case.
The amount of data on the gateway client has exceeded the limit for a single table. Please consider reducing the use of highly repetitive strings values through normalized keys, removing unused columns, or upgrading to Power BI Premium.
Hi Anonymous ,
It should be by-design limitation. Actually, the resolution of this issue is exposed in the Error message itself, remove the columns with high cardinality or move to Premium.
Move to Premium:
With Premium capacities, large datasets beyond the default limit can be enabled with the Large dataset storage format setting. But it's cost is high.
Therefore, you can try to remove the columns with high cardinality.
Please follow the steps to find the columns with high cardinality is to use the DAX Studio tool:
1 Connect to the model/PBIX file
2 Go to Advanced -->View Metrics
3 Try to remove as much as you can from the columns that have the highest cardinality.

It's abvious that your Data model needs optimisation. If you don't want to go for Power BI Premium because of its cost then for sure you need to verify the size of your tables. Maybe use Direct Query mode is also a good solution.
