Dax Measure too heavy

Hello everyone, everything good ?

I'm having problems with a calculation in DAX that is doing a projection calculation.

The calculation is not the problem but as I have a considerably large database, when I publish it it gives an error and informs that it cannot show the graph because the Resources were exceeded.

Can you tell me if in the Premium Power BI Environment there is any difference in the memory issue used for calculations?

The Problem that is happening:

Hi @ErickReiis 

 

In Premium, you can adjust the workload settings for Premium capacities. You can increase Query Memory Limit in Admin Portal. Please refer to How to configure workloads in Power BI Premium - Power BI | Microsoft Docs 

 

Chris Webb has a blog explaining this error, here is the blog link Chris Webb's BI Blog: The “Visual Has Exceeded The Available Resources” Error In Power BI

 

When executing DAX queries, the whole data model is loaded into memory. So to avoid this error, one option is to increase the memory limit, the other is to reduce unnecessary data to decrease the data model size. 

 

Also if the DAX is too complex and has many variables or something else that may produce a lot of temporary data in memory, it may also have an influence.
