Premium capacity estimations
The volume of factors involved in Premium capacity utilization makes it difficult to forecast the amount of Premium capacity (and thus cost) required. This complexity is particularly acute for large deployments with diverse use cases to support.
Additionally, for organizations relatively new to Power BI, the level and growth of user adoption, as well as the requirements for future projects, can be unclear. In the past, Microsoft provided an online tool to estimate which capacities would be needed for estimated workloads. However, that online tool no longer exists. Instead, use the guidance in this section to estimate Premium capacity requirements and then use the Monitoring Premium capacities section later in this chapter to determine whether additional resources are necessary.
Recall from the previous section that the important capacity limits from Table 15.2 vary per dataset storage mode and usage. Available RAM is highly important to import...
