    Hi BITSMH ,

     

    You should check this as following.


    Firstly, about whether the premium is set correctly. There are various sku premiums and they have different limits on the size of the dataset .

     

    Secondly, make sure that the workload behavior of premium capacity is configured correctly in the admin portal.

    service admin premium workloads 

     

    Thirdly, enable large dataset in power bi permium. Large datasets in the service do not affect the Power BI Desktop model upload size, which is still limited to 10 GB. Instead, datasets can grow beyond that limit in the service on refresh.

     

    Fourth, as the error message says, reduce the use of highly constant, long string values and instead use a normalized key. Add a primary key and move most of the calculations to DAX to limit datasets size, or refer to the method described in this article (How to Minimize Data Load Size for Tables in Power BI ).
