Hi NehaGoel_2203,
Here looks like error is because the compressed size is exceeding the per dataset limit on your capacity. In power bi service --> under dataset settings --> Large dataset storage format, turn On.
- If possible, store the images as url’s for example in azure blob storage and reference them in your report visuals instead of embedding the actual image data in the model
- If the large dataset format is already enabled and you are still hitting the limit, please share the exact error message and the current dataset size from the dataset settings so we can look more into the issue and provide you the best solution possible
Thanks and regards,
