how dataset is being compressed in Power Bi Service?
- 1 year ago
Hi pennyhoho117,
Defination of semantic model:
The Semantic Model in Power BI is the underlying data model that stores imported data, relationships, calculated columns, measures, and hierarchies
The 1GB semantic model size limit applies to the entire model, meaning all tables combined. If your semantic model contains 10 tables, their combined size after compression must fit within the 1GB limit.
As per my knowledge after publish the report to the power BI service, each time when refreshing data, would compress the VertiPag inside the powerBI Service when the data is initially loaded or refreshed.
When:When you publish a report using Import Mode, the data is compressed using VertiPaq before being stored in Power BI Service.
Each time the dataset is refreshed, Power BI reloads and re-compresses the data using the VertiPaq engine to optimize performance.
How:
VertiPaq compresses data column-wise instead of row-wise, meaning that it stores unique values efficiently and applies advanced encoding techniques.
