@sajal161292,

 

The cuase of the issue is how Power BI deals with referenced measures, which I'll let someone more knowledgeable cover.

 

From the hardware side, how much memory do you have in your machine? I used to get these messages constantly, but they went away when I bumped my laptop memory from 4GB to 20GB.

Hi,

 

I have 8 GB RAM and 64 bit OS in my system.

Hi @sajal161292,

 

What's version of Power BI Desktop do you have? 32bit or 64 bit?

 

64 bit would be better. At some point with large data models (eg in the millions of rows), 32 bit will most likely stop responding. 

 

In addition, as @RMDNA 's reply, I suggest you'd better add more RAM space for your device.

 

Best Regards,

Cherry
