Dear Community,
I'm seeking advice on handling a challenge where a dataset exceeds the capacity limit (25 GB for P1).
Please take into consideration the following points:
I'm particularly curious if any of the new Fabric tools could be helpful in this situation.
Thank you in advance.

If you don't have the budget to expand your capacity, you can only optimize your model on the original data model size.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, but as I mentioned above I'm looking for a solution within my current capacity.
@gp10 , PowerBI pro has a storage limit of 10 GB. Upgrading the power bi license should help with this problem.
You can expand the storage limit and for my case you can go up to 25 GBs.
I'm searching for solutions that dont include upgrading Power BI licences.
