Hello Team,
I want to create a report using import method in Power BI Desktop and from there to publish Power BI service.
1. What will be the max no. of records/ size that can be imported into Power BI Desktop while developing?
2. Is there any such limit applicable after publishing the same report in Power BI Service? If the limit is different from Power BI Desktop then please provide that limit.
Regards,
Shiva

Hi @ShivaPrasad1,
Based on my research, with different licenses, the limit is different.
Also, you could refer to these links:
