    Hi,bimchahaha 

     

    I am not very agree with your opinion that your report (.pbix) has 10 datasets.

    One Pbix file corresponds to one dataset. There is a 1 GB limit per dataset that is imported into Power BI. If you have chosen to keep the Excel experience, instead of importing the data, the limit is 250 MB for the dataset.

     

    Please notice that if we say max dataset size is 1 GB - it means the dataset of a single pbix file you are going to publish must be smaller than 1 GB. when you publish a pbix file over 1GB to Power BI Service, you will get limitation error message.

    For more information, please refer to this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/service-get-data

     

    Depending on the SKU, Power BI Premium supports uploading Power BI Desktop (.pbix) model files up to a maximum of 10 GB in size. You should have at least a P1 or an A4 SKU for any datasets larger than 1 GB.

    For more information, please refer to this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/service-premium-what-is#large-datasets

     

     

    Hope it helps.
