Hi @ArvindJha  - These errors are common when there is a data packet being processed in your Power BI Dataflow exceeds the maximum allowed size

Try limiting the number of rows or columns processed in your Dataflow:

Try reducing columns, filtering data, and enabling Incremental Refresh first. If the issue persists, check gateway memory and consider partitioning your data.

 

option 2: If possible, split large tables into smaller tables and process them separately

Thanks for the response all of this is already taken care of still the issue persists , for incremental load to happen it has to do full load first time right ? colums are reduced to what is required , it works absoultely fine in QlikSense
