I have an Azure subscription with a Power BI Embedded resource (A1). I am attempting to upload a PBIX file from desktop. it is over 2G big. I have verified that my Azure PBI Embedded services is running and active.
About 30 seconds after finding my workspace in the list and clicking the Select button, I receive an error message:
Publishing to Power BI
An error occurred while attempting to publish <name>.pbix: The remove server returned an error: (400) Bad Request
I am blocked. What do you recommend?
Solved! Go to Solution.
After some experimentation, I did find that an A1 size was insufficient. I deleted everything that was previously uploaded so that I was starting clean. An A2 instance also proved insufficient. Ultimately I needed an A4 (10G) to handle a PBIX file that was only 1.56G image on my disk. There is apparently some decompression happening after uploading.
Kudos to @GilbertQ ! Power BI team, please improve your upload error! It wasn't a "bad request," rather it was a case of the uploaded image being larger than the provisioned capacity.
