Power BI Premium per user model size limit?
What is the model size limit for premium per user?
I've seen two different numbers:
- 10GB (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/service-premium-per-user-faq)
- 100GB (https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/#features-compare-charts)
Which one is correct?
Thank you
Hi, melo-loadsmart
The model size limit for premium per user is 100GB Per User.
I checked this document (Power BI Premium Per User FAQ ), but I didn’t find any description about 10GB.
The document has been updated recently, please recheck the content .

The initial upload limit of the PBIX file size is limited to 10GB
The total dataset memory size once expanded within the Power BI Service is 100GB.

GilbertQ - Can you expand on
The total dataset memory size once expanded within the Power BI Service is 100GB.
I'm considering moving from Premium Capacity to Premium Per User (we only have 100 or so Users), but I noticed the main difference was the limit moving down from 400GB to 100GB.
Our main Dataset is a 1.8GB file, but it contains maybe around 60GB of data (mostly coming from Dataflows). How can you tell how much memory you are actually using with a Dataset in Service?
Hi cassidy
GilbertQ has a really good blog on how to check the size of your model once it's in the service: How to use Vertipaq Analyzer with DAX Studio for Power BI Model analysis - Reporting/Analytics Made easy with FourMoo and Power BI
