Report server limitations

Hi,

My report (.pbix) file size is about 300M is not loading onto Power BI server in my company local network althow another small files load with no issue.

Are there any limitations?

Did not find such info.

Thanks in advance.

OK, so if you are using the wrong version of desktop then this behaviour would be expected. I have some possible workarounds that may help you recover the report here Power BI Report Server – fixing “Can’t upload this report” – Random Procrastination (gosbell.com)

The max file limit is 2Gb see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/scheduled-refresh#data-model-size-limit so whatever problem you are hitting is something else. What error message are you getting?

Based on log file I guess there is a similar issue like this one 

Thanks for your reply.
