Hi Power Bi Community,
I have a few measures which record an approximate size of the different tables. I want to record/save these values in a table so that I can observe what's the size of each table everyday.
How can I copy and save these values?
I am doing this to monitor memory usage and then I have to use this data to forecast the memory requirement.
Solved! Go to Solution.
If you have a date or index column on the tables, you could calculate a running rowcount to show size historically. If not, you can't store stuff like that between refreshes in Power BI. One way would be to make a paginated report with a visual that has the row counts in the dataset, subscribe to it as csv file, and send it to Flow to save the daily files to SharePoint/OneDrive. Lots of overhead, but it could work.

Hi @Hussain
PBI doesn't have persistent storage like this. Your measures will change day to day as the tables change, you won't be able to add rows to a table for example, inside PBI.
You could manually copy the table and save it to Excel or export the data from the visual.
