Last year at the launch of Premium, the "Power BI Premium Whitepaper" stated that Microsoft would be releasing support for large datasets in the future, saying "You will be able to build models as large as the Power BI Premium dedicated capacity memory can hold. " They also said the increase in size limits would be done gradually, and "In addition, to effectively support large datasets, a set of additional features, listed below, will need to be introduced." It's not clear what those additional features are, perhaps incremental refresh and others?
I haven't seen any mention of large datasets in the blog or forums since then. And I have voted up the Idea.
Can anyone tell me if the increased size limits are available yet in dedicated capacity - for P, EM and/or A nodes? And if so, what are the effective limits for each node size? We are getting close to starting an implementation of Embedded and are currently developing reports using a Pro license that will be deployed in our app. Some of those reports exceed 1 GB when importing many years of data (for trend analysis, data mining, etc.), and Direct Query is not always an option. So I'd like to know if the 1GB report limit has been expanded for A and EM capacities.
Can you also tell me what other "additional features" have been released? We're particularly interest in incremental refresh and a few others like read-only replicas.
Thanks,
Sam
