PowerBI output tool - 4000 character limit - workaround?

Question

Hi,

Im trying to upload a dataset to PowerBI and one of the fields contains a summary of a document and this can be up to 30,000 characters.  The PowerBI tol is saying the string value cannot exceed 4000 characters. As far as I can see this is not a limitation of PowerBI as a quick google says that limit is 32,766 - so where does this 4,000 character limit come from and is there a way around it?

This is an issue with the Power BI API and its 4000 character limit - I might look around Google for alternative options: powershell - Solution to Work Around Limited Number of Characters Sent in API Request? - Stack Overflow
