Refresh Failed

Dear all,

I have a power bi pro lisence ,
I made a report on 19th Aug  and published it into a workspace which i made .
My data source is from Sharepoint folder , everyday 4 files (excel files) are pushed using Microsoft flow in sharepoint .
Each file size is not exceeding 400KB.
Except the first file which was 2MB large .
Now all of sudden scheduled refresh started failing and when i downloaded it gave some memory error .
Not enough memory to complete this operation .
Now i deleted the biggest file of 2MB and its working again !!!

Can anyone tell why this memory thing is creating an issue ???
according to my knowledge about 10GB of data set can be stored in workspace of power BI service?

Please help

    Sujit_Thakur - Go to File | Options & Settings | Options and in Data Load, turn off auto time intelligence or whatever the setting is called. Here it is, uncheck that: Also, maybe under CURRENT FILE | Data Load as well since you have an existing file. The refresh your data.

    Sujit_Thakur - Well, Pro has a limit of 1 GB dataset size. I suppose it depends on how many files, but doesn't seem like you should be hitting that limit. One thing that I have found that blows up data models are date tables. Especially if you have the automatic date hierarchy stuff turned on.
