Power BI has limitations on the maximum string length it can handle. Exceeding this limit can lead to data truncation, errors, or memory issues. Very long strings also increase the memory footprint of the data model and can slow down query performance. Consider splitting long strings into multiple columns or storing them in a separate data source.
