Insufficient memory to display a simple output

I have two measures, 

calc1 = if( ISINSCOPE( 'schn Product'[ProductCode] ), 2, BLANK() )

 

calc2 = 

if( ISINSCOPE( 'schn Product'[ProductCode] ), Sum( 'production'[qty] ), BLANK() )
 
For some reason, calc1 is having memory issues, despite the simple output. Has anyone encountered this before? I can't access DAX Studio (company laptop, not authorized software).

This tool can give you insights into how each visual is performing and might point you towards a solution. Here's how you can use Performance Analyzer:Use Performance Analyzer to examine report element performance in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Micr...

same thing happens here, insufficient memory

calc =
ifISINSCOPE( 'schn Product'[ProductCode] ), MIN( 'vw_Production_2Years'[BaseOrderNumber]) & " " & MIN( 'vw_PlannedSchedule'[BaseOrderNumber]) , BLANK() )
 
if I take out the space, it works without a problem
calc =
if( ISINSCOPE( 'schn Product'[ProductCode] ), MIN( 'vw_Production_2Years (3)'[BaseOrderNumber]) & MIN( 'vw_PlannedSchedule Extrusion'[BaseOrderNumber]) , BLANK() )
