How to Measure the 5 GB size limit in the Anaplan Power BI Connector

sychtysz18

Hi,

In the Power BI Anaplan connector, there is a known limit of 5 GB when importing from Anaplan into Power BI.

I ask

How does someone measure without running an export if an Anaplan export is under the 5 GB limit?
How do you measure the # GB of a current Anaplan export? This way, I can know how close I am to the export limit.

Run the export action and see the size of the csv file. let's say with 100 Million cells data in csv shows 2.5 GB, that will tell you that 200 M cells in Anaplan module will give 5 GB and that you should avoid.

Hmm I have found the size of the csv does not correlate to the "5 GB" size of the export.

An export was being rejected for being "too large" when the csv was under 5 GB.
