Hi Everyone,

 

I have created a dataflow using sharepoint data in Power BI service and published in service. Successfully added schedule refresh to it, but unfortunately when I tried to download report from service its not downloading throwing an error as "This file can't be downloaded yet. you can't download this file right now because its been designated as a large model".

 

can anyone help me how to solve this issue?

 

Thanks

  1. In the service > dataset > Settings, expand Large dataset storage format, please check if the option is turned on.

  2. In the workspace, click Settings > Premium.
  3. In Default storage format, please check whether the large dataset storage format is set as the default storage format.

When using large datasets, if a dataset is stored on Premium Files, downloading as a .pbix file will fail.

Please refer to the documentation below.

Hi 

I did exactly what you have explained, and I still can't download the file and still getting the message that the report is too large. Do you have any idea how to solve it?

@Anonymous , Not sure the link between dateflow and download pbix.

 

But seems like the power bi data size is too big, that is why it not downloading.
