Memory Allocation Failure
Hi, Raj_j
Could you check if the file size exceeds 1GB?
Or when it is refreshing the data because of too many queries it is running out memory?
Some basic steps that usually work are:
- Increase available memory (if you are for example working from a VM)
- Remove all unnecessary columns in the power query editor
- Allocate more memory in the data load option in power bi (options > data load)
Calculated (dax) columns are not compressed as well as computed (power query) columns. You could try and add your columns in power query instead.
Here are more references that may be helpful:

Hi and Thnaks for your response.
I'm not sure on the size of the data as it's coming straight from the database.
I have adjusted my pagefile size to 16gb and Data Load to 2K and i still get the error.
I am running Power Bi 32 bit version as i couldn;t get my ingres odbc connection working for the 64 bit
Thanks
