Memory issue after Power BI April update ?
Hi, I have faced 2 times the same memory issue on PowerBI Desktop (downloaded Agst 2016), using rank with DAX functions. I feel that PowerBI doens't have a proper memory control in certain situations. It caused that the entire machine failed and stop working, even the right click on the task manager doesn't work. The only solution is to restart the machine using the power button.
LOL !!!!!! I just upgraded to the latest release today, 8/26/2016, and my server runs out of memory and disconnects me from the remote session. I haven't seen behavior like this since the days of PICK OS. We were seriously considering as using PowerBI as our front-end reporting, but this is a major flaw. Unless we can roll back to an earlier version, that worked with the same model, we will be forced to re-think our roll out plans.
We have a 16gb VM, 2012 Standard, plenty of disk space and this is the only software running except for SQL Server 2012.
Are there other tweaks that can be administered for this latest upgrade, if now where to find an earler version.
