Chris Webb has bad news for people with tables holding 2 billion-plus rows in Tabular format:
What’s more, the error will always occur even if you apply a filter to the table that returns less than two billion rows. The same problem occurs with some other functions, such as Percentile(), but it’s worth pointing out that the vast majority of DAX functions work as normal with tables with more than two billion rows – for example, in the pbix file used here the Sum() and CountRows() functions not only work fine but return instantly.
I haven’t seen that many Power BI examples with 2 billion or more rows in a table, but it can be an impediment when trying to use Analysis Services Tabular in cases with enormous amounts of data.
