Power Bi Premium

Hello, good afternoon

I hope you can clarify this doubt for me

I have a Power BI Premium capacity and I have created a report and I have been using it for a long time and now it tells me that I can't because I go over 1 GB of storage in the dataset.

But by having Premium I have more than 1GB of storage

Has anyone found a similar case?

Thanks a lot

        Okay okay, I'm going to go step by step :
        1. I've created two parameters

        2. In the power query I have created a range from that date to the next

        3. Now I've closed it and I've applied it and it takes me to the dashboard and this is where I have to publish it.

        And now in Service what do I have to do ?


        Should I do this whenever I want to repost?

        Thanks a lot

    Regardless of the capacity you can only deploy desktop files smaller than 1GB. You could use a powerquery parameter to filter the report, for deployment, then remove it in the service. You could also use incremental refresh to reduce your file size, so you can deploy. The Semantic Model can then grow beyond 1GB in the service

      Or by this you mean creating this parameter on the desktop so that it loads the data and automatically in the service does not call those parameters.

  • Thank you for replying

    Right now what I have activated is an update in this way

    Based on what he tells me, I don't understand how he could solve the problem

    Thank you

      You filter the data in the report to get it below 1gb.

       

      If you follow the guide for incremental refresh you can filter locally to a single day of data. When you publish and refresh in the service, partitions will be made for the table, for the range of dates you've specificed for the incremental load window. The service will take the RangeStart and RangeEnd parameter and fill each partition with data beyond that single day, you specified locally. This then grow up to the size of the limits for your specific capacity 

  • Right now, I'm in the phase of updating the report from Service and it's taking me a long time, in fact yesterday I put it to load and I reject it because it was a very heavy moelo.

    Hi Syndicate_Admin ,

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.

    Thank you Deku for the prompt response.

    For the error you are facing "the dataset is too large to refresh due to timeout or memory issues" - often caused by complex models or large imported tables.

    Here are some Troubleshooting steps to solve the issue:

    1.Check your workspace is truly in Premium capacity:

    Go to your workspace settings

    Ensure the “Premium capacity” toggle is ON, and it's assigned to a dedicated capacity (like P1/P2)

    2.Optimize your model:

    Remove unused columns or tables

    Reduce cardinality (e.g., long text fields, high-distinct columns)

    Consider changing large tables to DirectQuery or Hybrid Tables

    3.Split large data loads:

    Use incremental refresh on large fact tables to avoid full dataset loads every time

    Break up complex queries in Power Query

    4.Use XMLA endpoint to check dataset size:

    If you're in Premium, you can use tools like Tabular Editor or SSMS to connect via XMLA and get detailed metrics

    • If everything looks right but the problem continues, contact Microsoft support with the Cluster URI and Activity ID you shared - that will help them trace it.
