I downloaded and installed Power BI Report Server.

1) How to increase the maximum file size?

I am planning to host Excel file. Currently I am looking for changing the file size.

I have around 200MB+ Excel files...

For SharePoint 2013, we can do like ... https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/sammykailini/2013/11/06/how-to-increase-the-maximum-upload-size-in-sharepoint-2013/

2) In general, where can I find the documentation on configuration and its customization ....

Thanks

Hi sevenhills,

In SQL Server Management Studio, connect to your Power BI Report Server instance, right click this instance, open its server properties, there is a MaxFileSizeMb property under Advanced tab that allows you to limit the file size uploaded to report server.

But it seems that the maximum file size is 100MB.

Reference: Setting a maximum file size in SQL Server 2016 Reporting Services

Thanks for the reply.

I hope they will change to 2GB. We are trying to host (pure) Excel files of size 200MB+ on the Power BI Report server.
