When you import data to Powre BI, Power BI compresses the data and create a dataset.

    Thanks for your response Maggie. I understand how the compression works with Power BI desktop. I am struggling to understand how it works in RAM. 

     

    I am trying to understand how the size of the dataset impacts the performance of the premium node. When I look at the "Premium Node Metrics App", it shows the "Max size" of the dataset. I am not sure how to interpret that size.
