Capacity Metrics Dataset SIze Vs P1 SKU Limit 25GB

[AnandGNR]

Hi,

I know that the capacity metrics shows us a bigger dataset size than what we see from DAX Studio(Vertipaq Size).

My question is does the 25GB ceiling apply to the size shown in the capacity metrics or the Vertipaq size (DAX Studio) ?

Thanks,

Anand

The limit will apply as per the capacity Metrics
Power BI keep the dataset in expanded mode to speed up the user experiance on web thus the size is bigger compared to the DAX studio

Thanks Arvind! Just a quick follow up. Does the number of live users using the dataset impact the size in capacity metrics? If 45 users used the dataset as opposed to 30, would it mean that the size on the same dataset can vary in the capacity metric app? 

Regards,

Anand

As per my knowledge, It should not impact the size based on number of users, but yes it will consume more CPU.
