HELP! Microsoft Mashups are eating my memory
Measuring Power BI document memory consumption
While using Power BI desktop to create a Power BI report, you can use the Windows Task Manager to review the current memory footprint of the report. To do this:
A. Open the report in Power BI Desktop
B. Insert a blank page
C. While in the blank page, save and close the report
D. If possible, close all open applications
E. Launch Power BI Desktop again, and open the previously saved report
F. Once the report is open, you should be in the blank page that you had added (the report should open to the blank page added in Step B, above)
G. Open Windows Task Manager by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del, and selecting Task Manager from the list provided. Expand the Power BI Desktop Group under the process tab
(Detailed information about these processes can be found at the end of this post.)
H. Wait for the report CPU % to approach zero, which means that it has completed loading it into memory. See this sample report on the blank page.
