Hi heroes,
Please help me to choose proper technical specification for notebook that can works smoothly for power bi desktop.
I struggle with approximately 8 million data rows.
Does RAM matter ?
@alikhalilov , if the compressed data size, means the size of power bi file less than 1.5 GB it should work.
I am able to work with a file size of 1.5 GB to 2 GB with 8 GB of RAM. It does slow down.
I have less than 200 MB, but dont work .... there should be some other reason....
@alikhalilov , Check these settings. Make sure browsers are not taking too much memory. Increase virtual memory of the system and increase data management cache of Power bi
