I am using direct connection using azure documentDb. I need to know for this data source as well limit of 1gb apply or it is different to import data from source to dataset?
And if in case no. What is the limit?
For all direct query source (including cloud source), there's no 1 gb dataset limitation. But it has 1 million row limit for returning data. For more details, please see: Use DirectQuery in Power BI Desktop
Regards,
Thanks for your prompt response.
For IMPORT there is a limit of 1 GB and I would like to know is it the same for Azure documentDB.
The 1 GB limitation is on Power BI Desktop level, which is applied on all data sources.
