Hello everybody😊
I am new to Power BI
I have just started my first Power BI project.
My problem is:
1. I imported data from Dynamics 365 Database. But data size is 1.1GB after cleansing all the unnessessary columns.
I heard importing data untill 1.2GB is OK to Power BI DESKTOP.
But i am confusing that this data is just 2019 data and it will be refreshed later like bringing 2020, 2021... datas.
So data will be increased.
So, Is it ok if I start my project with this 1.1 GB dataset.?
2. My data showed by daily. Is it possible to show it by Weekly?🙄
Help please, i am the only one Power BI staff in my company. ;(🤔🙄
Thank you 🤗🤗

Hi @Anonymous ,
P1:
Data Model Limitations in Power BI Desktop
(Dataset is a concept in Power BI Service)
P2:
You can show the data by weekly.
Here’s my original data.
I created two columns and show values by weekly.
Year = YEAR([Date])
Week = WEEKNUM([Date])
Note: WEEKNUM() function Returns the week number for the given date and year according to the return_type value. The week number indicates where the week falls numerically within a year.
Best regards,
Lionel Chen
