Hi @jmercado ,

 

Did this issue occur in Power BI Service? If so, you may upgrade the gateway to latest version. You may consider reducing the size or complexity of your dataset, or consider breaking the dataset into smaller pieces. Also you may improve the performance for the data model, see Power BI performance best practices , Power BI Performance Tips and Techniques.

 

Best Regards,

Amy
