Publishing Large .pbix with Premium

Hello all,

 

We are testing Power BI Premium functionality.  Specifically, we need the ability to publish larger reports (i.e., > 1GB pro limit).  I've signed up for the 60 day trial and I'm trying to publish a 4GB file for testing.  I get the error:

Hi @goatley1 

Where are you publishing the Report to ? You need to publish into a Workspace that is marked as "Premium Per User" or "Premium Capacity" to get the larger Dataset benefits. Publishing into a Pro workspace or "My Workspace" still has the 1GB limit.

In the Workspace go to "Settings" "Premium" and set the option you want there.
