How to Find Data Model size in Designer File ?
Yes, it's the size of the .PBIX file that cannot be more than 250MB if you want to upload it to PowerBI.com. Number of rows is irrelevant. The file also cannot have more than ten reports. These are the two main limitations.
it's 240MB for data, 10mb for reports ( so don't go crazy with logos and background images) and up to 10 reports per file.
The enforcments are really checked and enforced on the server and not on the client.
You can imagine a scenario where the PBIX files, while in development can be very small (sample of few rows).
Then the user schedule a refresh on the service that loads all the data. That is when it matters. Not during refresh itself as much as where the file lives.
That being said, I can see why it can be useful to know on the client size the size of the file. feel free to add it to uservoice for user voting.
