Microstrategy for Power BI Connector
Can someone help me in understanding limitations of data pulled from Microstrategy to Power Bi using connector :-
- How much data can be imported from MSTR to Power BI ?
- Will data imported would be in memory or live connection ?
- If someone wanted to see live data which is available in Microstartegy, how it will be doable in Power Bi using connector ?
Hi, Bipul
You can import datasets with more than 4 million rows and 30+ columns. But there are other limitations:
Memory usage is limited to computer resources (RAM). So, if you have 8 GB of RAM and your report consumes 9 GB, then it will fail.
The imported data is in memory. You can learn how to connect Microstrategy to Power BI by following the following articles:

In addition, it is recommended that you read the following articles:
