File is too large to Publish

[Pinky0404]

Hi All,

I  have a Power BI file that gets data from sharepoint online and has exceeded 1GB. Can Someone please help me with alternative  ideas  and a brief explanation inorder to publish the report.

Thanks,

Pinky

Well, your options are generally if you can do Direct Query or go with Power BI Premium. If you can't do either of those, you will probably need to find a way to export the data into a SQL Server perhaps and then use Direct Query.

Thanks for your response. Are there any tutorials on how to use Direct Query?

It's just an option when you connect to the data source. Either the data connection will support it or it will not.
