"Decoding Connection Modes: Maximizing Insights with Import, DirectQuery, and Composite Models

It's important to note that while there might not be explicit row limits for DirectQuery or Import modes, the overall performance and usability of reports can be impacted by the size and complexity of the dataset, the available system resources, and the performance characteristics of the underlying data sources. Striking a balance between dataset size, data modeling, and report performance is crucial when working with large datasets in Power BI. Import:      - Import mode allows you to load data into Power BI's internal VertiPaq engine, storing the data in-memory within the PBIX file.    - The maximum size of a Power BI Desktop (.pbix) file is 1 GB.    - There isn't a strict row limit in the import mode, but the performance of Power BI reports might degrade if the dataset size becomes too large.    - Large datasets may lead to increased file sizes, which can impact performance and usability.   Advantages: 1.  Performance:  Imported data is stored locally, of
