Hi @KRISH80 

 

It's probably due to the size of your model in general, check your Memory capacity using Task Manager if you are hitting max, then try to optimize your report.

Hi @KRISH80 ,

 

This should be a memory problem. You can use DirectQuery connection mode.

You can also refer to these articles to optimize DAX performance.
