Limit on imported rows from analysis?

[Anonymous]

We are importing rows from datasets using the analysis server connection. The import can be to other datasets or dataflows.

This has been working fine until today. Now, all of a sudden, we are getting an error message saying: Error: Data Source Error : DataSource.Error: AnalysisServices: The maximum number of rows (5000000) was reached.

Has Microsoft implemented a limit on how many rows you can import from a table?

All our dataflows or datasets resides on premium workspaces.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Considering this huge amount of data, have you considered using Live connect mode to see if this error still occurs?

Data sources for the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Thank you for your suggestion Caitlyn. But we managed to find a solution to the problem.

This was probably caused by this change:

Analysis Services server properties in Power BI Premium are now in general availability | Microsoft ...

We checked the settings for the affected workspaces and indeed we found a value of 5 milion for one of the settings. Changing this to a higher value, using SSMS, the issue disappeared.

Kind regards
