This doesnt work and i still get the same error, current file size is 800MB. When i separate my multisource query (another answer proposed on another thread) into individul queries this blows the file size out to 1.3GB at which point i then am no longer able to publish due to 1GB upload limit. I dont understand how POWERBI desktop can read my multi source query fine and refresh fine, but the POWERBI service just S#!ts itself????
