    Hi TCPBI3 

     

    The reason that I think no one has put the details out there is because everyone's datasets are different. The way the datasets are modeled is different. As well as how the DAX measures are created. All of that will affect the CPU performance.

     

    What I would say is as long as you are within your CPU usage and it is working well that is a good sign. Quite often there are ways to optimize the dataset or measures. That can depend on a whole host of things. And typically it would require someone with a lot of experience in tabular modelling and DAX.

Thanks Gilbert, I understand that. I am mainly trying to avoid an overloading scenario when attempting to consolidate resources. I figured there would not be an ideal number but it was worth the ask. I appreciate the response.
