Question:

You loaded data to your Power BI Desktop from a Microsoft Access database file (file.accdb) which is around 20 MB in size. However, when the data was loaded and copied into a power bi desktop file (file.pibx) the size of this file was observed to be around 3 MB in size. What could be the possible reason for this noticeable reduction in size?


Options

  • Unlike the access DB file, the Power BI desktop file stored data col-by-row instead of row-by-row
  • Power BI ignores copying the duplicate data in the file along with ignoring copying any BLOB type data which leads to considerable size reduction
  • None of the options
