Create Relationship: There's not enough memory to complete this operation.

Hi All,

 

Need your help again. I'm trying to create a relationship between a date column and another date column from a calendar table but PBI desktop gave me this error 

 

Create Relationship: There's not enough memory to complete this operation. Please try again later when there may be more memory available.

 

Already tried this:

  • Restarted  my laptop.
  • Cleared PBI's cache.
  • Created calendar table from DAX and PQ and then tried re-creating the relationship.

I could successfully create a single direction relationship between the two columns sans the error but I need it to be both.

Hi @Kasunpathirana

 

I still have more than 40G in my C drive.

Firstly, please check if your .pbix exceed the 1 GB limitation. And check the memory usage of Power BI Destop.

 

Then try to remove unnecessary calculated columns to reduce the memory usage of underlying engine data compression. Please see a similar thread below;
