Hi to everybody,
I have a client who wants to know which data size are we loading on Power BI. Is there a way to know the size of the table in Power BI (like when you consult Properties to know a file size)?
Thanks in advance,
Alejandro
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous are you familiar with dax studio and its view metrics feature?
@Anonymous yep, table sizes, column sizes and much much more 🙂 I believe this is what you were looking for 🙂

Also, a parralel tool with an excel interface:

I will start with DAX studio anyway.
Hi @Anonymous ,
Agree with @SpartaBI that you need use DAX Studio.
1. In DAX studio ,select the PBI Desktop file you have opened:
Then execute such SQL statement that will fetch the table size information:
SELECT dimension_name AS tablename,
attribute_name AS columnname,
datatype,(dictionary_size/1024) AS size_kb
FROM $system.discover_storage_table_columns
WHERE dictionary_size > 0
For more information, please kindly take a look at the blogs:

Hey @Anonymous ,
See if the similar thread helps-Solved: Re: How do I check the size of a dataset published... - Microsoft Power BI Community
Hi @PC2790 ,
It's similar to my problem, but the thing that I want to know is the size of each table in the dataset, not the size of the dataset. I don't know if this is possible.
Anyway, thanks for the info. It could be useful for the client.
Regards,
Alejandro

No, but I will investigate in that way if there is the possiblity to know about tables size
