Hi ssharman,

 

Current only increase data model size limit at least request premium P1 SKU license.  If you use premium EM license, it still has 1 GB limit:

Large models can be very resource-intensive on your capacity; we recommend at least a P1 SKU for any models larger than 1 GB. The following table describes recommended SKUs for various .pbix sizes:

SKU Size of .pbix
P1 < 3 GB
P2 < 6 GB
P3 up to 10 GB

Any other suggestions?

      HI ssharman,

       

      I haven't found another documents mention these limitations, maybe you can submit a support ticket to power bi team to get further support.
