Issue publishing to Power BI
Currently Power BI only supports files upto the size of 250MB. If you would like to have this size increased, please add your vote to https://support.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi/suggestions/7276761-increase-file-size-limit-from-250-mb and also specify what should be the per file size limit.
Reduce your file by half.
From:
"Important: In Power BI Preview, the maximum file size is 250 megabytes for any file you upload to your Power BI site."
Difficult to suggest without seeing the table..but as a basic rule the columns with more unique values..and first of all the id/key...Else you can try filtering by date before loading if possible to decrease rows i.e. last 12 months etc..
