How to reduce Power BI model size with decimal ,float and money datatype

[abhiram342]

Hi All,

I have created power bi model by importing data from Warehouse. However, I have  FactTables with 3 different dataTypes decimal(38,7), float and money. All this 3 columns occupies more space. Can you please suggest how can i reduce the model size. I can't round off the numbers since this are business decision metrics.

Thanks,

Abhiram

@abhiram342 - So are you saying that you have the exact same number in 3 different columns and they just have different data types? If that is the case, just remove 2 of the columns?

Hi Greg - No, all 3 are different columns and they have different dataTypes.

Thanks,

Abhiram
