Unable to Load Large Excel Files
Able to load 4MB Excel file but unable to load 86 MB of excel. Is there any reason behind...!! Um with Power BI free version and May 2016 Updated.
K got it.
can u please tell me, is there any restriction defined by default for number of records to be retrieved in Power BI Desktop when we load an excel file or is that only in terms of Memory (MB or GB) irrespective of the records.
Hi Anonymous,
According to my knowledge, there is no restriction about the number of records when you load an Excel file. However, large number of records may cause memory issue, which will prevent Power BI desktop from loading data.
Thanks,
