Yes.  How much? That depends on the performance of your SSAS Tabular.  CUs are a combination of time and (Fabric) compute so in your case it would be mostly the time component.

    Hi,

     

    thanks for your reply. I know I was a bit unspecific. But in general, the question for me is, what fabric has to "calculate" because everything should be done on the SSAS side in my opinion.

     

    I'm just considering what would be best in consumption, the model is like 10gb and has 150-200 users.

     

    thanks anyways!

      Hi lukiz84 

       

      Maybe you can consider using the Microsoft Fabric Capacity Metrics.

      The Microsoft Fabric Capacity Metrics app is designed to provide monitoring capabilities for Microsoft Fabric capacities. Use the app to monitor your capacity consumption and make informed decisions on how to use your capacity resources. For example, the app can help identify when to scale up your capacity or when to turn on autoscale.
