Error after 'Close and Apply' in Editor

The error message you received indicates that the sort operator in your query has exceeded the memory budget and the query execution has exceeded the allowed limits. This can occur if your dataset is very large or if the query is complex and requires a lot of memory.

Here are some steps you can take to overcome this issue:

1. Optimize your query: Review your query and see if there are any areas that can be optimized. For example, you may be able to reduce the number of columns being returned or the amount of data being processed. You can also try to simplify the query by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable steps.

2. Increase memory limit: You can increase the memory limit for Power Query by going to the "File" menu, selecting "Options and settings", and then selecting "Options". Under the "Current File" tab, select "Data Load" and increase the "Maximum allowed memory usage" setting. This will allow Power Query to use more memory to complete the query.

3. Use incremental loading: If your data source supports incremental loading, consider using this option to load only the new or changed data instead of loading the entire dataset every time.

4. Use DirectQuery mode: If your data source supports DirectQuery mode, consider using this option to offload the processing to the database engine and avoid loading large amounts of data into memory.

5. Upgrade hardware: If your query is still exceeding the memory limits after optimizing and increasing memory, you may need to upgrade your hardware to provide more memory and processing power.

Try these steps and see if they help to overcome the issue. If the problem persists, you may need to seek additional help or support from your IT department or the software vendor.
