@degranadost  You can download the external tool DAX studio for free and get lots of info about your model that way: https://daxstudio.org/docs/features/model-metrics/

  1. Download DAX studio, if you don't have
  2. Open your Power BI file and then open DAX Studio.
    Connect to your Power BI model.
  3. Run the Size Query
    EVALUATE

    ADDCOLUMNS (

    SUMMARIZE (

    VALUES ( __Table__ ),

    __Table__[Name],

    "Row Count", COUNTROWS ( __Table__ ),

    "Size (KB)", COUNTROWS ( __Table__ ) * 8 / 1024

    ),

    "Total Size (KB)", [Size (KB)] * COUNTROWS ( __Table__ )

    )

This will give you the row count and an estimate of the size in kilobytes for each table in the dataset.

If this helped, a Kudos 👍or a Solution mark would be awesome! 🎉
