Matrix errors - Resources Exceeded - Power BI Service

Pulling a very small dataset, can't even get half a month and now the Matrix gives this error.

It's ok from Desktop but unfortunately not in the service.

Resources Exceeded
The query has exceeded the available resources. Try filtering to decrease the amount of data requested.
 
Has anyone else been experiencing this.  This is new for me.  We are a Power BI pro shop
Thank you

Things to look for in your measures would be:
1. Using Filter with a large table -- this loads the whole table then filters it

2. Using Summarize inside a measure also can cause a lot of excess data to be loaded when not needed and optimizing it could help

 

This Video by SQLBI is a good resource for some potentialy issues that might be happening: Filter columns, not tables, in DAX - YouTube

It will be because one of your measures is creating a large data cache. Can't say more without more context. Would need to see data model and measures
