I suggest to include the functionality to determine the data size for compressed and uncompressed data before publishing the .pbix file to service.

Need justification - Usually incremental refresh shall be used for large size reports and currently, one can not know if his report fulfills limits of data size (1GB/10GB) respectively before publishing the report to service. Upon publishing the report, if data size is more, scheduled refresh will fail and user may have to multiple times publish with different 'Store' and 'refresh' periods defined in incremental refresh policy.

As large report publishing takes lot of time to publish, it becomes frustrating sometimes. Hope some kind of solution could be offered.
