Power BI Embedded Capacity planning.
Hi Everyone,
I need help regarding Power BI Embedded capacity planning.
Currently, I am using A1 capacity for a project with the following details:
Number of Reports: 30
Maximum Number of Concurrent Users: 10
Report Size: 15 MB (average for all 30 reports)
Number of Observations in the Main Fact Table: 0.2 million
However, this is expected to change, and we anticipate around 10 million observations in the main fact table. The number of reports and maximum users will remain the same, but report sizes will increase with the growing data volume, as we are using larger datasets.
Question:
How should we scale the capacity to handle this volume of data?

Hi israrci1318 , I suggest test out with A1 capacity for now as the data size doesn't look that significant. However you can always then increase the capacity to A2/A3 depending upon the memory ,pricing etc .Further you can refer this link for more information on how you can plan your embedded analytics capacity planning :: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/embedded-capacity-planning
Hi powerbidev123 , I forgot to mention that my reports include around 10 calculated columns, which are quite memory-intensive. I have optimized them to the best of my understanding, but for one report with 0.2 million (2 lakh) observations, a complete refresh takes 10 minutes.
I have also installed Microsoft Fabric Capacity Metrics but am still unable to generate any conclusive insights from it. I would like to understand precisely what the load will be for this dataset and what capacity will be required. Is it possible to determine this accurately?
