Hi @powerbiexpert22 - Here the size of the Power BI dataset will include only those 10 columns that you loaded into the model. The other 10 columns which you did not load will not consume any space in the Power BI dataset.
the size of your dataset will reflect only the data contained in the 10 columns that are part of your data model.
